Claimed off Waivers: [ARI] Coyotes claim Eric Comrie from Jets

Here for the hot takes
I'm surprised we didn't try to get something in return for him, because he's definitely got potential, but got passed by a guy who struts. I wish Comrie the best in Arizona.

They most likely did try. However, with the number of available goalie spots being limited and the league's awareness of Winnipeg's predicament, the trade market must have been non-existent.

Not NHL goalie IMO, but who knows i guess. Coyotes are shaping up to be a good defensive team, so they might hit with these more likely than some other teams.
Thank Eff! Dude is awful. I keep hearing about his potential, but was average in Jr and bad after that. Officially a bust.

Tied with Mason for 2nd worst.

Sucks losing a player for nothing.
But he had fallen to #4 on the depth chart IMO and was really walking a fine line to being a bust.
Oh well I guess.

No, Comrie was significantly worse

Has looked awful every NHL minute he's played, but was a good AHL goalie with solid pedigree.
Good luck to him, seemed like a good guy in interviews.

Comrie is terrible. Wasn't there better goalie options available on the waiver wire?

Kid works insanely hard and has a great mind set but I feel like he has never been able to overcome his small size. In fairness this preseason was probably his best showing, he played fairly well. Then Berdin got his period and looks to have passed Comrie already. Bigger, athletic can handle the puck really well. Good luck Comrie.

Is Arizona up against the cap? Internal budget? Because it seems like Casey DeSmith was a much better option if they needed a goalie

Comrie was the cheaptest option and i think Yotes are pretty close to the cap.

I'm guessing Arizona wants Hill to play more games in the AHL rather than backup Kuemper while Raanta is out. Feeling like Comrie won't be starting many games, if at all.

Comrie is just too small in the net. He's been given lots of chances and has performed poorly. He only got extended 2 years to be expansion draft fodder

I see. So Comrie is just a warm body to keep the roster legal and he will probably be waived again
He played 5 games with the Jets and had good AHL numbers. I'll take your word for it since you've seen him more than I did but this seems like an awfully small sample size to draw a conclusion from.
