No thank you .. rather have the younger Comtois

You actually think he can bounce back without a scenery change?

Yes. He was looking better and better like his old self at the end of the year

Two years of the more expensive 26-year-old Kapanen versus at least 4 years of the cheaper 23-year-old Comtois? I'll take my chances that Comtois reverts to being the more productive player. It wasn't his surroundings that gave Comtois a bad year and if it was, why wouldn't those same surroundings prove equally detrimental to Kapanen?
