Leafs bring back Komarov (4 years, $2.95mil cap hit)

[OldTimeHockey]

So is this what we're looking at next season:

JVR-Bozak-Kessel
Lupul-Kadri-Clarkson
Komarov-Holland-Ashton
_______-______-Frattin

Both of those remaining forwards will need to be guys who can play on the penalty kill.

Pencil in Orr!

Clarkson/Steve Ott/Komorov. Most annoying line in hockey.

Make it happen, Nonis. 

 

[Captain Canuck]

Wow. Turn back the clock. Komarov and Frattin both coming back.  Who's next, Grabovski?

Yeah and then we swing a deal for Clarke MacArthur and the fans bask in the glory of the 12-13 playoff team!

The Leafs must be banking on him being a 3rd liner, which I don't think is completely out of the question.

If Clarkson can't crack the 2nd line, imagine the offence from a Komarov-Clarkson duo...

I know eh, WTF? This team has sucked forever let's mix it up.

Maybe swap Clarkson and Ashton if that 2nd line doesn't work out again. Both of those remaining forwards will need to be guys who can play on the penalty kill.

There are some rumblings on twitter that the Leafs are trying move Lupul. Don't know how much truth there is to that.

 

[BlueWhiteBlood]

What I struggling with is who the Leafs play him with.  Based on agitation a line of Frattin-Kadri-Komarov might be enticing but that's really leaving Kadri with questionable offensive complements.  I want to get away from Kadri-Clarkson as a combination as I think Clarkson really impeded some of Kadri's offensive output last year. He didn't really take advantage of Kadri's playmaking ability and I felt he played better with Holland.

Lupul/ Kadri/ Frattin I think they did it before, no?

 

[dappleganger]

I think we should buy him out.

Give him a year. 

 

[Boston Leaf]

little too much money

 

[princedpw]

On its own, I can live with this, but the Leaf cap mistakes add up.  Rather than this:

0.8 Gleason
3 Komarov
5.2 Clarkson
= 9 million

I'd prefer

8 million Statsny
1 million Carter Ashton

Sure, that makes Statsny massively, horrendously overpaid, but I assume we'd have to outbid the Blues.  I'd rather waste several million on new players at the top of the lineup than players at the bottom.

I'd also probably prefer to spend the cap space on Erhoff.  I'm not sure how much that will cost at the moment ... we will see.  Probably a lot.

Anyway, it definitely could have been worse!  Thank god for Florida!!

hey, @Senators, guess who back? #yousuck

Ok now I like this. even if I think its a bit much

 

[princedpw]

Better than kuli-. Less money, more compete.

We'll have to see what Kulemin makes.  I'd certainly prefer Kulemin on my team over Komarov if the salaries were anywhere close.

That's the fake Komarov account, though, no?

You all are getting pretty liberal with what you think is too much. I don't think in the last 3 years on this board the phrase "that is a reasonable price," has ever been mentioned.  Less than $3M/year is a reasonable price for Komarov.

Say what?

I think I have now fallen for the same fake account twice...cause of retweets...
