Stop sugar coating it and tell us how you really feel about him

 

[fsdev905]

They don't need him, they have Briere,

 

[Uber Coca]

I'd sign this guy, and pair him with Gallagher. Bruins fans would implode.

that alone makes it worth it!

 

[DJ Breadman]

He is a little *****, but we don't need him got white, prust, weasel

He is a little *****, but we don't need him got white, prust, weasel

no forward on this team who throws over 300 hits a year...
Leo threw 176 in 42 NHL games.......So an awesome addition to our roster.Habs have to offer him $.....

2013-14 Moscow Dynamo KHL 48 Games 12 19 31 pts

 

[Harpo]

I've found him pretty effective against the Habs when he was in Toronto.

 

[Mike8]

The new Artyukhin for you?

Komarov is looking for a lot of money. He doesn't produce offense really. He'd be fun, but ultimately a poor signing.

 

[LyricalLyricist]

He went back to KHL for money and he's UFA now, what a coincidence. Wants highest bidder.

 

[SquiddFX]

A midget that hits? Sold!

Low risk move for Habs....cause he is only going to get better,,.,just 42 games NHL exp...the guy is a human cannon ball.

No ,he wanted lots of playing time to make the Olympic team, which he did for Finland 2014.Playing 4th line for Leafs wasn't goona get him a spot.
He lit it up for 2013-14 Moscow Dynamo ,48 games 12 19 31 pts.


He is coming back,one reason he says is money isn't everything....Also
apparently his girl friend prefers North Amercia and Leo doesn't care much for 12 hour plane rides to hockey games in KHL.



Anyways.....Habs gotta be in on him for sure....Low risk potential high reward

 

[Phil Parent]

No but if we're after pukes of the kind... I'd take Radko Gudas. But TB won't give him away.

Leo Komarov is a forward.

Gudas is not Ufa ,contract until 2016.A dman.

 

[Mike8]

Is Radko Gudas playing in the Olympics?

Leo Komarov is

Do you even feel like this is a legitimate argument?

 

[Treb]

Well next year we have

Pacioretty - DD - Gallagher
Galchenyuk - Plekanec- Bourque
Brière- Eller - Prust
Bournival - White - Weise
Moen

Unless he wants to be 13th forward, I don't see him being better than any of our starter. Trading Brière and Bourque for a good top 6 RW then signing Komarov as a 3-4 LW would be an option, but my little finger tells me it's not happening

The 27-year-old had his first (and long-desired) taste of the league in 2013 – calling it “probably the best time of my life†– before returning to Dynamo of the KHL last summer for reasons both financial and otherwise.

there both Olympians...


One is a forward....who is UFA.....

ONE is a dman ,who wont be ufa for another 4-5 years...


There's a big difference,one cost assets...One cost money.

Komarov was captain of Team Finland at the 2007 World Junior Ice Hockey Championships in Sweden. Komarov won a gold medal with Finland at the 2011 IIHF World Championships in Slovakia.

 

[JayKing]

We have White & Weise

 

[Nitehowl]

We have White & Weise

If he wants to sign for around $1M sure and he can play with Wiese/White on 4th line

What about Kulemin? He is more a 3rd liner with some offence

Where does he fits in, who does he replaces? We're pretty much losing only Gionta and Parros this summer up front and already have plenty of signed NHLer (White and Weise will be re-signed, I'm pretty sure)

“I need to play a lot to make this team for Olympics and I knew I'm going to get a lot of ice-time in Dynamo,” said Komarov following practice with a trimmed down Finnish Olympic squad, NHL players yet to arrive on this day. “You go in the NHL and play on the fourth line – five, six minutes – it's hard. I wanted to make 100 per cent sure that I'm going to make the team.

but he appears more focused on simply getting back into the NHL however possible. Yet to receive any offers he remains hopeful about his prospects with a fallback plan of good money and opportunity in the KHL.

“They've got good money in KHL, but it's not all about the money either,” he said. “NHL is the best league you can play in.”

He got good enough hands to put up 31 pts in 48 on a high power Moscow Dynamo team........I say we give him a shot not on the 4th line.He says TODAY money isn't everything.

Right. So they play different positions. And for different countries. And you're comparing them. It's as logical as saying we ought to re-acquire Diaz because he's an Olympian, and we'd be better off with Diaz than with Claude Giroux on that basis.
