Good on him. Always liked him. Too bad he just didn't play well enough here.
On a slight tangent, I found this little nugget in another column slightly further down the list:

Quote:
Comeau is in limbo. (Limbeau?) He fancies himself a second- or third-line winger with scoring touch, and his numbers with the New York Islanders (44 goals across two seasons) are a pretty good argument in his favor. But he was a lost soul with the Calgary Flames, settling into a fourth-line role with very little offensive opportunity. The Flames aren't exactly a well-run operation these days.
So the writer is essentially blasting the Flames for being a worse-run franchise than both the Islanders and the Blue Jackets, based off the assumption that Comeau wasn't given enough offensive opportunity in Calgary.

I can't help but laugh at the abundance of errors in that statement.
