[What the Faulk]

700k. Far under what everyone thought.

 

[Novacane]

Very happy. $700k

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Soooo solid. I love this.

 

[Anton Babchuk]

Good deal.

 

[Zombie Mike Murphy]

WTH?

I mean, I'll take it...must have owed JR a favor or something.

What a steal...****, at 700k even if he sucks and we bury him in Charlotte that's hardly a blip on the cap radar. That's like less then MehStew money.

 

[Caniac4ever]

Excellent start to the day JR!

 

[DougieSmash]

Pitkanen- Faulk
Sekera- Gleason
Harrison- Komisarek

 

[Buenos Necas]

Awesome deal for us. If he ends up sucking, it's only 700k. If he's a serviceable bottom pairing guy, we got an absolute steal.

 

[KILLger]

Great character guy.

Defensively minded.

Muller connection.

A great fit.

 

[bb99]

Solid. High 5.

 

[Zombie Mike Murphy]

It's like we actually have a defense. Also have Bellemoore as a #7/physical option, and of course if Murphy has a Skinner-esque camp...

 

[Gr8Dan]

Hopefully he returns to his former Montreal self and not the Toronto self

 

[Jussijuice]

Best part:

Now there is almost no chance Corvo is back

 

[DaveG]

My guess right now:

Gleason - Faulk
Pitkanen - Sekera
Harrison - Murphy
Komisarek

 

[raynman]

Great character guy.

Defensively minded.

Muller connection.

A great fit.

Wonder if the Muller connection is what did it? Hadn't really thought of that.

 

[Identity404]

Wow, what a shock! No one saw this one coming.

Nice signing, now I think we will get a back-up goalie and be done.

 

[Unsustainable]

Great sign.

 

[Lucky Lindy]

Great, cheap signing!

Any fan praising Komisarek's buyout doesn't understand the incredibly positive impact he had on the @TorontoMarlies this season. Maybe he wasn't paid $4M to be a Marlie, but you will realize the value of his stay when the D prospects find their way to the big club.

 

[faulkingdynamic]

The player was predictable and the price was cheaper than expected. Hard to argue with this one. And we don't ask him to do more than he shows he can handle.

 

[Vagrant]

I don't know if there is any way that any single person can spin this signing into a negative. I would have been willing to double the value on the contract if I were an NHL GM. Stupid good signing even if it fails.

 

[Drivebytrucker]

For 1 year / 700K, you're not going to find a much better deal for a big physical defenseman with experience. Great Move JR!

 

[Carolinas Identity*]

Pitkänen//Faulk
Gleason//Sekera
Harrison//Komisarek
Murphy

Holy, hell, we actually kind of have a defense

 

[Vagrant]

And just for giggles, something about Komisarek you didn't know:

- Drafted 1999, round 11 #234 overall by Plymouth Whalers in the OHL Priority Selection
