God help the Jets if he's the NHL backup.

 

[Coffey]

Ahh the key piece of the Smid trade. Nothing to show for it now.

Always liked LB. Hope he does well.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

Gross.

 

[Heldig]

Backup for the Moose I guess?

 

[Apathetic]

Best of luck to him, he looked promising but didn't take the next step last year.

 

[Homesick]

Personally I hope he does well for the Jets; The Oilers fan in me hopes he's your NHL starter

 

[Saitama]

Why?

 

[Supermassive]

He played behind an atrocious, confidence-robbing, physically weak defense last year. He has upside, hopefully he follows Dubnyk’s path and has himself a career resurgence.

Comrie moving up?

 

[Eyeseeing]

Comrie moving up?

Oh lawd I hope not

Always liked LB. Hope he does well.

The key piece to the Smid trade was moving Smid before his body completely gave out.

Bigger signing then Tavares………

[Flukeshot]

I don't get it. Hutch and Comrie already there.

 

[Afterburner]

Hooray??

 

[Romang67]

I don't get it. Hutch and Comrie already there.

Hutch is gone.

 

[karnige]

Hooray??

he was so bad. you have no idea have poor he played on edmonton.

Speak for yourself. We can afford 16 Brossoit, plus gear and food, for the price of one Tavares. We just need to find the loophole in the rulebook specifying that we're actually allowed to play 16 goalies at the same time.

 

[NedPlimpton]

yeah. he was bad in Edmonton. Never felt confident with him in net.

Hope he can take the steps he needs to and can be better in WPG for you guys.

 

[LemmyUlanov55]

2 years ago I thought he'd be a solid backup, now it seems he's AHL bound.
Always liked LB, too bad he couldn't take it up a notch. Good luck!

He has no upside. Even years ago he gave out rebounds like candy. At least Dubynk was once a solid starter for the Oil. LB has been a terrible backup from day one. Did not want him back last off-season and thankfully he’s gone now.

 

[almostawake]

I expect the Jets will go to training camp with him penciled in as the backup, then claim one of the guys put on waivers for opening day.

Like, he's really the 3rd goalie that bounces between AHL and NHL for injury cover. The good thing is, his salary reflects that at least.

 

[Flukeshot]

Hutch is gone.

I missed that. Thanks!

Wouldn't mind seeing this kid turn it around. Boy does he get rattled though as soon as anything goes wrong. Needs to take some big steps with his mental strength. He always had the physical tools to get somewhere if he could put it all together.
