I understand the frustration in previous years with a lot of the guys we have but a big part of the problem was Sutter.

I can say one thing, that both Comeau and Jackman can hit. The only difference is Jackman DOES hit people when he can. Also, a fighter that often loses is still better than one that doesn't stand up for his teammates at all. We need some kind of enforcer in our lineup, he may not be the best but he does fill the role. Also I liked him on the forecheck in Mondays game, hope he can build off that if hes in the lineup.
I'd say we have enough guys to use on the pk without Comeau and from what I see, he's not a great pker. Guy is too soft on the puck when he actually does gain control and he doesn't have the urgency to get it out of the zone.
