Mike Comrie

Here is the second "New Islander" Review. Today, it's Mike Comrie. Enjoy.

Mike Comrie signed with the Islanders on 7/5/07. The same day we signed our Captain, Bill Guerin.

He spent his first three seasons in the NHL with the Edmonton Oilers (00-01),(01-02), (02-03), who were his hometown team. He split the next season with the Flyers and Coyotes; where he would play the following two seasons (05-06), (06-07). But before the trade deadline in 07, he was dealt to the Ottawa Senators. Mike would only play half of a season there, but he sure had a hell of a time. He was part of the Senators Stanley Cup run, where the Sens fell in 5 games to the Anahiem Ducks. In the playoffs that year, Comrie put up 2 goals and 4 assists in 20 games. Coming into his first season with the Isles, he has scored 127 goals and 145 points, in 418 games. (Playoff stats included)

The 26 year-old Comrie can have a fresh start on the Island, and can finally prove if he is a true #1 center. We are giving him his first shot at this, so it could be the year he breaks out. I predict him to have 40 goals and 50 assists this year. I think he is capable of doing even better, though.

Am I overrating this guy? I mean, on full seasons, he's gotten 30+ goals. It's not amazing, but that's still pretty good, don't you think?


Replacment for Blake? Not in speed, but he definitely ties him in points. Oh yeah, he has a lot of grit too.

Nolan-Type players are what fill up our team. And he is one of the most Nolan-Type.
