He's making 1.2m in the KHL according to that article. No need to go bust the bank on this guy.
If anything I think it's likely he replaces Kulemin.

I'm pretty sure that, according to that article, he's making 2.4 million in the KHL and that's what he's "believed" to be making. It was reported at the time as being closer to 3.

I'd be more than fine with that. Get the guy for less than $2 mil and I wouldn't hesitate for a second.
Just get him longer term though. And keep Kulemin.

I bet he'd be happy getting 1.75m or so. Less than the KHL, but not enough of a difference to say forget the NHL.
I hope they sign him, keep Kulemin, and McClement. All solid defensive players who are great for 3rd/4th line. Kulemin will be the hardest to keep most likely

I think he can make up any lost income with an endorsement deal as the next World's Most Interesting Man.
I don't understand why we all assume Kulemin is as good as gone. The Leafs based on history have rarely ever lost a pending UFA they actually wanted to keep, and we know Carlyle loves Kulemin, soo....
Coco-puffs said:Well I agree, I bet the Leafs do want to keep him. But they have 7 forwards, 3 defensemen, and a goalie to get signed for approximately 20 million in cap space. It might be Bolland OR Kulemin, unless someone like Kadri gets moved.
Nik the Trik said:Really, though, most of the "bring back Komarov" stuff has been of the "I'm sure he'll take X to come back" variety where X is a pretty favourable number for the Leafs. Dude bailed on the NHL once for cash, I really don't see the argument that he's looking to cut the Leafs a break.
So with that in mind, what is the upper number for bringing him back? 2? 2.5? Because I have a hunch that he'll look for 3 per to start.

What's he make in Moscow? Pay him one penny more!
#1PilarFan said:Regardless of whether he left for money or playing time, the Leafs can't afford to pay him much more than 2m on a short term deal, given that he has 42 NHL games under his belt with a robust 9 points. I like him, I like the way he plays, but if he thinks he's going to get north of 2m (which I can't rule out) it won't be with the Leafs and even that is a bit much. Raymond has been much more productive (albeit much less physical) for a paltry 1m.
