Jackman has less career NHL goals than Comeau had in his fluke season alone. I'd keep Comeau over Jackman every time.

Do you see any potential for Comeau to score 24 goals ever again? Because I definitely don't. The play usually dies the second it hits his stick, if not he dishes it to no one. His release is one of the slowest I've seen and his hockey IQ is almost hitting Rene Bourque levels. He has never shown a flash of how he possibly put up those numbers while on this team.
Comeau does not fit in the 4th line, he doesn't get in the dirty areas and try to fight for goals, he just stands near the circles and waits for the puck to come to him. It takes more than being able to throw the body to be an effective 4th liner.
Comeau is the type of guy that excels in being one of the better players on a thin team, not when he's behind 10 other players on the depth chart. He's just not good enough to slot into the top 9 on this team, and he's not the type of player that belongs on the 4th line.
He is just not a good fit for this team
