It's based on the player's position combined with their years on contract
Comrie, as a G, has completed 4 full seasons under contract, so his waiver cost is $67,500.
Noesen, as a skater, has completed 6 seasons of contract, for a price of $15,000.
Roughly, the idea is that if a team is forced to waive a younger, less experienced guy, their compensation will be a little higher than a veteran, who is likely being waived because he is a known journeyman or on the decline, and because goalies typically take a little longer to develop, their waiver prices are higher.
