Speculation: Maxime Comtois (UFA)

[JianYang]

Nope, don't need to clutter our organization and certainly not on someone not cleared of the HC scandal.

Regardless, Molson is not touching that after how the Mailloux thing went down.

 

[Habs]

Lol wut

You lost me dude, no idea what Cooley has to do with Comtois

nothing at all, its just summer and i'm ranting in every thread lol

 

[Habsrule]

I would try to sign him to a two way contract and keep his salary high in the AHL.

At best he proves he can play in the NHL and rejuvenates his career. At worst he plays a top six role for Laval and it helps the kids to play with a NHL vet.

MTL needs to lessen forwards not add a guy like him

If he iis cleared, the logjam at forward is not really an issue this year. At the NHL level, the competition for a spot is with RHP who is the only waiver exempt forward, if he doesn't beat him out, he goes to Laval and pushes someone down to 3R where they will get more playing time till injuries hit. A young,cheap reclamation project is something we shouldn't be turning down given where we are in the rebuild. I view him like an NCAA free agent signing ,with a higher pedigree, but a free wallet nonetheless.

In the end , we are all going to regret not drafting Cooley anyways, the rest is just noise.

I still regret not drafting Denis Savard but I'm OK with not drafting Comtois.

Hypothetical here, if Hoffman’s contract magically vanished today, would anyone be willing to take a flyer on Comtois? Seems like a similar reclamation project like Dach and Newhook. Unless there’s something I’m missing, I’m surprised no one’s picked him up yet. Perhaps he’s been confirmed to be one of the players involved in the 2018 world junior controversy?

If Hoff’s contract magically went away, there’s like a 2-3 players in our own system we could use instead.

No, and we all know why at this point.
Kind of a stay tuned as to what the league does with him and others....

 

[BJCOLLINS]

We have enough to deal with on Mailloux

We have NOTHING to deal with regarding this kid!!! And, Who is WE? OMG? Why do people want to relitigate this kid’s history? The Gossip mongering is way beyond the excuse of care & concern, it borders on entertainment for some.

 

[MMC]

Awful with a shit attitude, I would advise against this

 

[Sasha Orlov]

He’s just not a good player

Of course it will have to wait until the 200 lawyers finaly approve the result of the 2018 investigation.
If he wasn't involved and if he can fight he might be worth adding.

According to Beaudoin, Comtois will sign a PTO with Vegas. He says nothing official, but it's looking that way.

Perhaps he is expected to be cleared when the investigation result comes out.

As a 4th line winger, I would prefer him over Armia anyday.

If he could play like William Carrier, it would already be a good signing.

Doesn't that say could ? I'm guessing they (Knights) reached out and said they'd invite him once everything is released ?

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

They should announce what they are doing about 2018 before training camp. And if there are players whose names are connected to this who turn out to be not involved they should be able to sue if they drag this out.

 

[HuGort]

I probably wouldn't offer him a contract. Character is big in dressing room.

 

[MXD]

As far as the hockey player is concerned, he could be a decent add if he knows what he is at the NHL level and how he should play. Something he wasn't always doing with the Ducks.

Of course, this is not exactly why he's still UFA at his juncture.

 

[Redux91]

Total Non-starter.
I hate that this is a thread.
