Are you really comparing a 27-year-old player with a (as far as we know) normal pregnancy to a 36-year-old player on the verge of retirement who just had a baby with complications? The two couldn't be any more different.
Take the babies out of the equation, and you've still got a guy who is about to retire and is worth (as an "asset") next to nothing, and a guy who will actually play, and will be signing a new contract for next season, either in Columbus or elsewhere. Comeau has a few years left in him, Kipper doesn't. It's that simple.
