Player Discussion Max Comtois

[pesko]

Theoretically they have more time to train there. But yeah on ice in games he probably wouldn`t develop much there

Agreed, it's a shame AHL isn't an option for him.

 

[Ducks in a row]

Got a assist today so now he has 2 goals 4 assists 6 points in 7 games. Happy to see him continue to pick up points.

 

[Kalv]

He has played 7 games. There are two coming up this week back to back in Vegas and vs Buffalo at home. Then the final decision must come.

There’s no way he’s going down at this point. They might revisit at the 40 game mark to save a year of unresostricted free agency.

 

[Ducks in a row]

Got a assist today so he has 2 goals 5 assists 7 points in 9 games.

 

[The Midnight Burrito]

Alternate headline: Comtois's goal drought reaches 7 games.

Could be what Bob is thinking. The 1st year of the entry contract has been burned, but sending him back to Juniors before his 40th NHL game will move his UFA age from 26 to 27. Now they have plenty of time to evaluate his play before the 40 game threshold.

And he's still probably a better option than a lot of others right now, at least until more of the team gets healthy.

Out tonight with an injury. Welcome to the team

gets hurt in 10th game. That about sums up our luck.

It does show that he's bought into the system.

Any word on his return?

We will know the day that he is returning.

We'll send you a message at the end of the year.

 

[MMC]

Any chance he goes to the WJC?

Victor Mete played 49 games for the Habs last year and he also played for Team Canada in the WJC. I think the WJC is strictly U-20 so, Max should qualify.

I know he qualifies I’m just wondering if the team will release him or not

It depends on how much he is needed.

How would anyone here possibly know that?

Of course no ones going to know, it’s just speculation.

Because there is literally nothing to speculate about in regards to it.

I hope they do, but my guess is that they won't. based on his TOI and the impact he was having on games, I don't see why they would. unless they think a stint with the Canadian team as a conditioning stunt. and I'd rather NHL teams not use Hockey Canada/Tournaments as conditioning stints. pet peeve.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

For the future, what kind of player do you see him being? A top 6 LWer with PP1 time? Or do you think he'll be someone that may be stuck on the PP2 for a while?

In all likelihood a 2nd or 3rd liner who can play on both special teams. Maybe some PP1 time it depends on who he’s competing with for time.

 

[HansH]

He's on a conditioning assignment in San Diego starting tonight - scored a PP goal less than 2.5 minutes into his first AHL game. I, too, am bummed we won't see him for more than a couple of games down here. He is playing with much more maturity than his age, for sure.
