Komarov hits, he hits hard and he hits often. That's how he agitates and that's all he really does.
No but if we're after pukes of the kind... I'd take Radko Gudas. But TB won't give him away.
Sorry guys. Leafs want him back according to dreger. Ultimately they still own his rights. As a leaf fan coming in peace, every friend/person I know loves the guy and reason why he left was only because he knew he would get playing time in dynamo which would help his bid for the Olympics, it worked, he's an Olympian now and has expressed interest in coming back to Toronto next year. Even went as far as saying his girlfriend wants to move back and he hopes Toronto wants him. He was huge for our Pk, his loss is a big reason why it sucks this year.
Komarov will be an unrestricted free agent this summer, so while he is interested in returning to Toronto after they drafted him in 2006, he’s also open to signing with other NHL clubs.
Why is that?Toronto does not own his rights,but if he comes back he will be in Toronto.
Why is that?
He has said over and over that he misses Toronto and would want to come back.
He also said he's open to sign elsewhere.

Loiselle said the acquisition of Hartikainen’s rights could have implications for next season with an eye to Leo Komarov returning to the fold. Toronto was interested in re-acquiring Komarov as a UFA for next season, after refusing to match the big contract Moscow Dynamo gave him last summer, but Hartikainen is also a third liner who wants to come back to the NHL after 52 games with Edmonton.
“We couldn’t afford Komarov for the role he played on our team,” Loiselle said. “But it’s a pretty good trade-off (with Hartikainen).”

love Komarov.......Take him in a second!
He's a 4th line agitator/banger, not a huge need. I wouldn't pay him what he wants to come back to the NHL.
????
Yeah he bangs.......
Go up and down the roster on the Habs and see what 3rd and 4 liner has that stat.
Leo Komarov 42 games 176 hits
Ryan White 36 GAMES 62 HITS.
Dale Weise 47 GAMES 72 HITS
PRUST 48 games 85 hits
Moen 51 games 77 hits
In 42 games for a BANGER he only took 18 penalty mins!
SMART banger....no Habs 4th liner has 176 hits and just 18 pims...
He scored 3 game winning goals in 42 games.
He had 9 pts in 42 games...
Not bad.....for a "banger"
I take a guy who throws 300 hits a year,scores 20-25 pts and comes to play hard every night.....
Sign me up .
