RIP Grizzly 399
Yeah, that's pretty wild. IIRC he was captain of Canada's WJC team. How does a guy like that just disappear from the scene at such a young age?

Max was so good in juniors, by all accounts dominant by the end of his AHL stint, and then great to start his career. There were rumours he was partying too much after leading the team in scoring, then he had injury issues and could never get himself right again.
I sort of wonder if it was an issue of he led a team in scoring and then thought he was good to go and took his foot off of the gas for how much work it takes to be to not only a good player, but a consistently in the lineup NHL player.
He was also a guy that wasn't a plus skater, so he had to rely on always being in the right spot to score his goals. He was very much a Perry-esque player. It felt like once things started going wrong for him he was almost questioning himself at every step and lost his innate sense of goal scoring that carried him to that point. It really sucks because we're missing a guy with his net front presence. We could use a non-broken Comtois right now.

Yeah it’s too bad what happened to Comtois. He was showing a lot promise at one point. I feel like he had really good chemistry with Zegs in the Covid season. Or maybe it was with someone else. I think he had good chemistry with Rakell too, they actually looked like brothers haha.
He was really bad defensively and his conditioning wasn’t great. Still feel like he should’ve been in more games his last year here, I don’t think he was playing as badly as how often he’d get into games would indicate. It’s not like we had better options.

I wonder if Comtois' career might have been salvaged if we had kept Perry... He probably could have learned a lot from Worm.
