Value of: Comtois to the Pens

[Knives and Tulips]

Maxime Comtois has been pretty bad for the Ducks past two years. Was wondering if maybe management is ready to move on.

What would be wanted from Pittsburgh for him? Any interest in Granlund?

Hextall seems on the way out, so new GM won't have any ties to Hextalls mistakes

If Hextall stays he will give them a 2024 1st for him

 

[The Duck Knight]

Pretty good chance he won't even be qualified. Probably 2x2 on the open market would be enough. Fresh start would do him good.

 

[MMC]

No interest in Granlund, a mid round pick is fine

Honestly, Comtois will likely not be qualified, so you can just sign him on July 1. I’m only taking Granlund if you’re giving us a 1st.

He will be a UFA, after not getting qualified... so, make his agent an offer on July 1st.

I'm not sure if this is really a sincere Comtois acquisition thread, or a Granlund dump proposal gussied up as a 'Value of' thread, but I don't think the Pens are getting rid of Granlund's contract - and the two years remaining - that easily.

I think they're going to have to figure out how to get the most out of him (a scoring-line winger role would be a good start.) The hole created by the end of Zucker's contract might just create that opportunity.

A guy I've wanted the Pens to try and acquire for like 2 years now. If he really isnt going to be qualified, I would love to sign him to try and rebuild a bottom six. Especially with his size.

Lol at offering up Granlund. Only way Granlund is going out is for a fellow cap dump in a "change of scenery" deal. Other than that, Pens are best sitting on him.

The best thing he ever did here: likely get Hextall fired.

I would highly encourage the Pens to sign him if he's an UFA come July 1st.

Best I can do is a Jeff Carter extension.

I hate you.

If Comtois is worth 2x2 to PIT, why wouldn't he be worth 2.3x1 to Anaheim?

 

[biturbo19]

I feel like if Hextall was really interested in a guy like Comtois (and he probably should've been), he would've made it part of that deal unloading McGinn.


Presuming a new GM and a cleared house...maybe that's a guy they look at more closely. He'd be exactly the sort of upside proposition and player profile the Penguins need more of. But it's not clear if the new guy will recognize that either.

Boeser for Comtois?

 

[Ledge And Dairy]

Pretty good chance he won't even be qualified. Probably 2x2 on the open market would be enough. Fresh start would do him good.

Highly doubt he gets more than a PTO into a cheap 1 year contract after not getting qualified. Look at Steel and Milano

 

[Gliff]

So nice to offer Granlund lol. I would rather keep him or not qualify him.

 

[Fogelhund]

Comtois would be well served to sign a one year deal, for a team where he can play shotgun to some top offensive players, to rebuild his value. I think he has the tools to succeed, but he hasn't broken 20 points the last two years, so I don't see why he would sign for any real term.

 

[McDonald19]

Speculation is Verbeek won’t give Comtois a Q offer.

However if he does get the Q offer, he is likely available in trade for a 22-25 year old player that also needs a change of scenery.

No interest in 31 year old Granlund and his $5 mil a season contract.
