It’s pretty surprising to see both Comtois and Curran on the taxi squad. Comtois had a good chance at winning a spot in the top-nine and with Brendan Guhle out and Christian Djoos being claimed, it seemed as though there was a high chance Curran would make the roster. In addition, star prospect Trevor Zegras will have to wait a little longer to make his debut.
