Who says you can’t go home again and again and again.

Earlier today Frank Seravalli reported that the Jets would be bringing back Eric Comrie as backup goalie to Connor Hellebuyck. Comrie was a 2013 2nd round pick of Winnipeg and really developed under Rick St. Croix during his time with the Manitoba Moose.

He actually played his best hockey in Winnipeg in 2020-21 going 10-5-1 in 19 games with a .920 save.% & 2.58 GAA. He’s extremely close to a bunch of guys on this team so that makes it seamless.

When he had a chance to test free agency a few years back he landed in Buffalo but things never really clicked there so he’s back to Winnipeg for another shot with the Jets.

His agent Ray Petkau said it is a two-year deal with a 825K AAV.

Working hard on a daily basis to provide the latest Winnipeg Jets and Manitoba Moose news for our readers and listeners. I also appear on the Illegal Curve Hockey Show every Saturday on our YouTube channel as well as the Illegal Curve Post-Game Show after every single Jets game. And I occasionally jump in the play-by-play booth at Canada Life to provide colour analysis during Manitoba Moose games.
