NJ needs a goalie, so here we go

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

Question is why him?

he has horrible numbers. Kinkaid would have been a much better option. Even Tokarski would have been

 

[uncleben]

For those interested, this cost New Jersey $63,750, paid to Winnipeg and not counted against the cap.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

Don't worry, we'll take him back when he gets waived again.

 

[rubikscube]

He sucks. If he gets into a game he's going to let in 3 goals over his shoulders.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

I literally saw this coming.

I just said nothing in case it sounded biased or in case the Devils were going to find someone more proven.

 

[Royale With Cheese]

This is not a good goalie.

 

[Brodeur]

"Hey, so like in seven years, the Devils might claim you when another goalie retires unexpectedly right before the season starts."

 

[InfinityIggy]

I suspect I am going to be in a tiny minority but I still like Comrie and think he has upside. I like this pickup for the Devils.

 

[DaveG]

Not surprised that they claimed a goalie, just surprised it was this one

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

So devils will go with what?

blackwood
Wedgewood

then comrie on taxi?

 

[Flyer lurker]

Whomever Jersey got as their g was going to be ugly. But Comrie feels Rosie O'Donnell ugly.

 

[Tasteless Beaver]

So devils will go with what?

blackwood
Wedgewood

then comrie on taxi?

NJD would have to waive him again, and Winnipeg would pick him back up for their taxi squad. We reclaimed him last year after Arizona claimed him from us. He wasn't good for Arizona, but our organziation clearly sees him as depth that they want.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Comrie is fine. One year deal.

New Jersey isn't winning anything this year so even if it's highly improbable, there is still a chance that Comrie can establish himself as a decent backup goalie. If that happens, New Jersey got a free 25-yr old backup. Both Kinkaid and Tokarski are a literal bandaid and don't fit the Devil's timeline, and they aren't the difference between winning or losing a game.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Wanted either him or Dansk.

then comrie on taxi?

Alas, there wasn't any other wood amongst waived goalies, so they picked the first available one.

same here

for a guy who has done next to nothing, he has racked up the miles being on different rosters

 

[The Great Mighty Poo]

Doesn't he kinda really suck a lot?

 

[RRenegade]

I don't think Comrie is an NHL level goalie. I wish him the best as a Jets fan as he has an awesome attitude.
Of course, maybe he has made progress since I saw him last year.

 

[jetsforever]

I like him but so far he hasn't been a great goalie
Maybe we'll get him back (again) when he's waived

I thought AZ claimed him then dealt him to Detroit, and we claimed him when THEY waived him?

Anyway, seems like a great kid but terrible NHL goalie. He'll be back lol

 

[NjdevilfanJim]

Like the lottery hey you never know might work out for them...
