Rumor: Wings interested in Max Comtois

"Like it or not, fighting is back"

I remember him being quite physical player in team Canada-jersey, no recolection what he looked like in NHL. But he would have the mindset to be that fighter. McLellan sure saw him close in Cali. Somebody has to be extra forward.
 
Would add some sandpaper to the charmin soft roster.

Not a terrible add, though buyer beware he comes with off ice baggage. From what I remember he wasn’t a favourite in the lockeroom.

Lots of uncertainty last year if he would be charged for involvement with the 2018 WJC team Canada s** assault allegations (Was in the room with them)
That’s why North American options dried up for him and he ended up in KHL.

As far as fighting and toughness… people are getting carried away. He is not Austin Watson or Evander Kane. He is more like a much bigger and stronger Perron style physical pest. Plays physical and annoying, but by no means is feared by anyone.

Decent skater for his size and if I remember correctly was good on face offs.

Sounds like this is just rumor/negotiating stage and other teams like Canadiens involved.
 
Meh ... if we can get rid of Rasmussen etc... and he can be on the 4th line sure. Not really needed

If we get him for 3rd line and keep delaying danielson,Lombardi etc.. I’ll be pissed

Again he’s not needed

Now that the info from that trial is coming out, I think a lot of those guys are going to be getting shots back in the NHL. Comtois seems pretty clear of any issues anyways and I don't think the 2018 situation will be a worry for him.

No clue how he is as a player now, but I was pretty surprised when I looked that he's only 26. He would add some grit but I don't think he's getting a one way contract. He had 50 points and 99 pims in 62 games over in the KHL last season.

Matter of opinion. Testimony has Comtois in the hotel room watching the alleged assaults. And in the group chats. Right or wrong… I Could see some fans/media taking issue if he is signed.
