[NHL] Phoenix Signs Mike Comrie


Recommended Posts

Just saw it on ESPNEWS's ticker, but it doesn't have it on their site yet...

Anyways, Phoenix sure is going after a lot of free agent talent... wonder how much the deal is worth, though. He's a good player...

Mike Comrie was not a free agent (well, at least not an unrestricted free agent).

Last season Phoenix traded Sean Burke, a wiinger and a prospect to Philly in exchange for Comrie. Therefore Phoenix had the rights to Comrie and signed him before his arbitration hearing on Saturday.

Since he went from $1.65 million last year to a two year deal with $4 million then I hardly think that Pheonix is throwing money around with respect to Comrie.

Now, the deal for 40yr old unresticted agent Brett Hull on the other hand, is considered "generous"...

In related news, Phoenix has unretired #9 for Brett:

Sorry, I wasn't implying that he was a free agent, just that they're going after a lot of free agents and then they signed him.

And, yeah, I saw the stuff about Hull... and the jersey being "unretired". I'm not sure if it's a PR stunt or if it's actually meaningful. Most likely PR.

Well they're unretiring Bobby Hull's #9 for Brett Hull. I don't think that Dad will mind sharing the honour. They'll probably reretire #9 for both of them in two years or whenever Brett retires.

Brett and Bobby don't exactly have a good relationship... that and Brett has publically gotten P.O.'d when clubs offered the number 9 to him because his father wore it.

    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
