Komarov wants back in....

[LittleHockeyFan]

You know.

He Who Must Not Be Named.

I like to call him He Who Must Not Be Played.

Twitter is saying that Leo is in Toronto and trying to negotiate a multi-year deal with the Leafs.

Man I hope so.

Well, his agent might be but Leo himself definitely isn't. The Finnish World Championship team just got home to Finland yesterday evening and Komarov was a part of that team. I doubt he flew straight to Canada after just getting here, especially since he said he'll need some rest at home now after a long season. Having said that - I, too, hope that Komarov returns to the Leafs next season. He is exactly the type of player you need for the bottom 6 if the money is right.

Signing him would be the right thing to do, but, and a big but is.. were talking about the leafs here. So don't get your hopes up.

Who is they, because they are clearly a nut cracker.

Yes even I have lost faith in the powers that be. But Bringing back Komarov, and signing Kulimen would be a step in the right direction.

I'd love to see a line of Bolland, Kulemin and Komarov.

Would look good for the entire 30-35 games that Bolland is healthy for.

More than that isn't possible, even though he's done it 4 of his 6 NHL seasons since he became a full time NHL'er? (including lockout)

Well, that's not exactly the most inspiring record of health, but, there's also the fact that he's only played 2 seasons where he didn't miss at least 20 games (or, in the case of the 12/13 lockout shortened season, the equivalent percentage of the season). Expecting him to miss a significant portion of the season is more than reasonable, even if Zee is being a little hyperbolic.

I think expecting him to miss 20'ish games is reasonable (so a 60 game season) which isn't great but is still 75% of the year he would be playing... beyond that it's a bit like expecting Carlo Colaiacovo type bad luck.  Possible? Yes. Likely? Only Carlo is that unlucky.

Look at it from a positive angle... The 25 games Bolland misses will be perfect for giving more playing time to the Marlie guys, without committing the dollars to them first.

Personally, If I'm picking between two oft injured players to keep, I pick Bolland over Lupul. Bolland is a better fit IMO, and the better choice to miss a chuck of games every year than Lupul. You can rotate more guys in and out of the third line than the second with less fear of inconsistency.

I'm glad we're so comfortable with the Leafs giving a guy a contract assuming that he'll miss a significant portion of it.

Just give Holland his minutes and be done with him.  He's been built up into something he's not by management and the media.

Who? Komarov or Bolland?

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

Bolland.

 

[Redleaf]

Bolland.

It could just as easily apply to Komarov.

 

[Boston Leaf]

I still say I wouldn't go pay Komarov anything much. He picked up his toys and left after 1 year. Who knows if that happens again.. If he signs elsewhere so be it..I like Bolland but Id walk away from him too..

We're not.  We've already got Lupul for that.

I agree. One injury plagued player is enough. I would think that Lupul has more value in trade.
