The 170lbs Horak is a finesse player who would not play well on the 4th line. Apples and oranges.

Horak isnt exactly a finesse player who would not play well on the 4th line. His strength is even better this year and while he may not hit as well as Comeau he'd be as effective battling along the boards and in front of the net.
Horak is just a much better player overall. More skilled, more intelligent, as fast and as strong as Comeau. I wished we hadn't signed Comeau, IMO Begin has supplanted Comeau in the lineup. Playing Comeau on a line higher than the 4th is a tragedy, he brings down offensive players. Horak and Jones can much more readily play on a 3rd line.
