2.5 Mil and he's on his last year of the contract. Thanks! He'll be an RFA, though.

I'd grab him 20 goal scorers don't grow on trees especially young ones. A new venue may do him some good too.

Comeau would be a third line option. I agree with Kehler that he'd likely only be an inconsistent scorer, but he's on a one-year deal and then becomes an RFA. The Islanders aren't exactly known for their personnel management and Comeau hasn't gotten along with management for a while now. He's got the potential to be consistently in the 35-50 point range so given the limited amount of risk involved I think the Jets should put a claim in on him.
It's a similar deal as with MacLean in that there isn't a lot of downside to giving Comeau a shot with the Jets. The downside I imagine would be that he sucks up some salary and may be frustratingly inconsistent on the scoring sheet, not unlike a few players already on Winnipeg's roster.

Fill our roster with these proven 20 goal scorers. I don't care if they're streaky... In all fairness who isn't streaky??? Crosby? Yeah good luck getting him. You have to be a 90 point guy not to be streaky and I don't see us getting one of those any time soon. If one of them isn't scoring, then the other will be. Get rid of Thorburn. He's never had more than 9 goals in a season... I know that's not his job, but he's also turned into a liability out there on 5 on 5. Get rid of Stapleton... I don't care if we trade both of these for a 6th round pick. Move Jaffray down with Slater and Glass Wellwood - Ladd - Antropov Kane - Little - Wheeler Burmi - Comeau/Okposo - Fehr Glass - Slater - Jaffray
That gets us to the playoffs

By my math, we're 5th on the list. A couple of teams don't have the cap space for him;
1. Anahiem 2. Calgary 3. Colorado 4. Carolina 5. Winnipeg
Since we're already 1/4 of the way through the season, do we take the full 2.5M cap hit, or would it be just the remaining 1.875M?

Picked up by the flames We should fire the coach for not coaching us into a better waiver pick up position

Glad the Flames got him, being a fan alongside the Jets of course, but he can/could've fit(ted) into either team really well, bad loss by the Islanders there
