[Jersey Fan 12]

Workhorse for second-place Jukurit in Liiga this year.

Where does that put him in the Jets pecking order?

Where does that put him in the Jets pecking order?

He should get a spot on the Moose, with the chance to play for a backup role with the Jets at some point. Comrie had a good year as backup to Helle but played very infrequently.

 

[Jersey Fan 12]

Never had much of an opportunity in the Jets' organization in his two years in North America - finishing last season in the ECHL with Norfolk.

He is playing full-time in Finland for SaiPa, a club that is generally lower in the standings, and through seven games has a 1.83 gaa.

Is there anything to his game or is he just a better fit at the mid-tier of European hockey?

He was given opportunity to be the starter for the Moose in the AHL over two seasons but continually got lit up. He’s a big guy but pucks seemed to sneak through him pretty easily.
