To his credit, he is fast and he does hit. He is a decent forechecker. He just doesn't provide much of anything else I think. If he can't score, he needs to start scrapping or find something else. I just wonder how NYI utilized him (or perhaps, who kept setting him up so perfectly).

He had the likes of Tavares, Moulson, Martin, Parenteau... who does he have in Calgary that I have listed that are young and skilled besides an injury prone Backlund? Nobody.... Through, he may have been at the right spot at the right time.

Scouting Report
Assets: Can be a streaky goal-scorer who can help carry his club for a while, thanks mainly to a very good shot and offensive know-how. Can also play either wing position. Owns good size. Flaws: Must find a level of consistency in all facets of the game in order to continue to earn an NHL paycheck. Can disappear for stretches. Doesn't shoot enough and/or play as physical as he should. Career Potential: Inconsistent scoring winger.

Comeau is a lesser version of Glencross/Stempniak, at the time I thought it was a great pick up by the Flames as he COULD help the Flames scoring needs. I believe that Brent Sutter basically put it in his head that its defense first and worry about your goals later.
IMO, the Isles gave up on him a little too earlier within 24 games. He needs to start playing like Holmstrom and get his goals that way. he definitely needs to be more physical when it comes to being around the net.
