really happy for Comeau. I was a big Comeau fan when he was an Islander, though he was a frustrating player at times. He struggled with consistency and never learned to simplify his game and was eventually waived but seems to have really found a nice role with the Pens. He's NOT a product of Sid/Geno at all IMO. I watch a fair bit of Pens games and Comeau (and Perron for that matter) have just played well - period.
Comeau always had a good shot, was rarely in positions to use it though. He played a lot on the perimeter, he carried the puck into nowhere far too often and got little results. I thought he had the potential to be a good bottom six defensive player if he changed his game and upped the work ethic, and he seems to have done that. He's become a pretty reliable depth winger who can move up and down the line-up and chip in offensively. Coincidentally, he's done for PIT (along with Perron) what Grabovski and Kulemin have done for the Islanders!
Happy for Comeau. I hope he doesn't bite the Isles back in the playoffs this year. That's right, I said playoffs.
