Player Discussion Max Comtois

[snipes]

What a ****ing gem. Should be Canada’s captain at the WJC.

He was a beast tonight.

 

[Dirk316]

He should be on the team now but I can understand with the expansion draft.

 

[Goose of Reason]

Dang. Dude is a warrior.

 

[Arthuros]

Gonna do a callback here...

Any word on his return?

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

Hey, Comtois's back.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Curious, do you see him being in the starting line up next year? If so, what kind of role/line do you think he'll be in?

I thought he was good enough to be in the lineup this season. But I could see the team keeping him in the AHL for one season since we’re pretty full on the wings already and having him play in the AHL won’t hurt.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Is there anyone in the line up right now that you think he should be playing over?

If I had to guess, I'd say he'll compete with Max Jones for a spot. Not sure I see both of them on the team at the same time next year, barring injuries.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

I wouldn't mind seeing Comtois in SD next year with Lundestrom especially if Steels make the roster next season as the 3rd line Center to form the new 'kid line'.

 

[bsu]

This guy loves scoring goals eh

 

[lakai17]

When does Comtois get the call again? Last week he got in a fight as he shouldn't be fighting, although he can play physical so it happens it's hockey.

His last season playing for San Diego so management probably want him eating minutes I imagine.

Well he’s not lighting up the AHL by any stretch and he’s not needed in Anaheim so I doubt he gets a call anytime soon.

His best chance of getting a call up is an injury right now. Even if they send Jones down at any point there are better options than Comtois to play bottom 6 minutes. Either that or he will need to force his way up by dominating the AHL.

 

[TheGoodShepard1]

I'll channel my inner @Ducks in a row here with the update since he's earned it.

8+5=13 in 20 games so far (and amazingly +2 on this team), really turned it on with 5+4=9 in his last 9. A true bright spot in what's been a rough season, showing he might be a fixture in our top 6 for a long time.

 

[Kalv]

I think he also shows some nice leadership abilities. A true bright spot

 

[GunnarStahl]

He is currently on pace to have a 32/33 goal season if he were to play 82 games, although this shooting percentage is likely a bit inflated

 

[Anaheim4ever]

His shooting % will probably drop to 15%, even Henrique is a career 15% shooter.
Mark Parrish and Andrew Brunette were both career 17% shooters and neither are HOF tier.
Tomas Holmstrom was a 16% shooter. NHL & WHA Career Leaders and Records for Shooting Percentage | Hockey-Reference.com

 

[JabbaJabba]

Comtois is one of the few bright spots of this season.

 

[Kalv]

I think his trajectory always showed that he will be good, he was just often added to the same age as Terry, Steel, Jones, and Mahura in our heads, thus making him a little less exciting. Idk.
But I was expecting him to make some leaps, definitely excited about this guy. He should improve even more with time.

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

In his draft year, wasn't he projected to be a top pick before he dropped off? I seem to remember something like that..

 

[Gliff]

Ya he was a top 10 pick before his draft season and then he had a terrible season which made him a late first/early second player.

 

[Smirnov2Chistov]

seems to be having a big development year along with Lundy. Happy for the both of them

Sounds like what’s happening to Lambos this year

 

[Leonardo87]

Comtois has taken a huge step, has separated himself miles between guys like Steel and Terry. On pace for over 50 points and over 32 goals (in a 82 game season). Very happy and with this team that is a rarity.

I will disagree. I see not much where he has taken a huge step. He has progressed very well and steady pretty much each year. Sure he is better than last year, but I don't think there has been like a massive step or anything.

he is on a 30 plus goal pace and over 50 points on a shitty Ducks offensive team, I mean that’s really good. He also just turned 22 yo.
