Rumor: Mike Komisarek: Gave a list of 12 teams, but wants a trade.

[Epictetus]

If he's allowed to opt out of the terms on his no-trade clause in his contract, then he should do the same for his no-movement clause and play in the Marlies until the Leafs trade him.

It's the AHL, yes. But at least he is playing.

 

[Sundinisagod]

I'm thinking if he was easily moveable he would be gone by now.

Leafs might have to eat salary and cap for next year to make this happen.

4.5 cap hit 3.5 actual salary til the end of next season. I think you're right though, we'll have to eat some of his salary/cap hit or take back a similarly overpaid scrub...I'd rather eat some salary and get back a pick, any pick will do.

That would be unforgivable. Just buy him out at the end of the year...there's no need to handcuff your salary cap structure just to please a wildly under performing player who has had many chances in this city.

 

[Scoogs]

It's funny because in the game(s?) he did play this season he looked pretty good.

Peace out, homie.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Good guy, but I don't think there's much of a place here for him anymore.

 

[TMLeafer]

Thought he looked pretty decent this season...didn't think he played his way off the team (much like Liles).

 

[false bobo]

He did look good in the limited time we saw him.

 

[Asif16*]

Sad to hear. Really nice guy. Definitely overpaid but was starting to turn it around this year. Still not sure why carlyle doesnt play him. Funny thing was, i thought Komi was gonna turn his career around under Carlyle but didnt happen. Ah well. Lets see what we can get for him

 

[waingr0]

His stock has never been so high, that's why they are hiding him.

 

[7even]

he's played perfectly well this year and the end of last and absolutely does not deserve to be scratched over a guy like Holzer. He should be playing.

 

[CanadasTeam]

Peace out, homie.

Good guy, he never complained once while in the pressbox.

 

[LeafsMonster]

Last year, I would be happy at this. But komi could thrive under carlyle and he played really good in the couple of games he's had. I was hoping for a while now that RC would put him in because he deserves a chance.

 

[ashs]

I think the leafs should make some moves right now while they are playing well. Now is the time to get some good picks (I would even consider moving grabo, macarthur and even kessel).

 

[Stephen]

I really feel bad for the guy.

He was royally screwed under Wilson's tenure, and he was playing well under Carlyle's system until ...eye injury slash being benched. Komi wasn't as bad as his play indicated, and I hope that he does get traded so he can.

Seemed solid. But I guess the organization needs to move forward with the Fraser, Kostka and Holzer experiments instead of a guy who is off the books soon.

 

[Stephen]

Holzer sucks, but I guess they're committed to developing youth...

 

[Porn*]

happily. just too bad few teams, if any would want him.

 

[Duffman955]

The thing is, I would much rather have komi playing than Holzer or even Liles.

He has shown that he can play quite well in a defensive system this year. I don't give a **** what haters say, I think he could have performed well under Carlyle.

If he does leave, I hope the best for him. Look how well Schenn is playing away from RW, Komiserek can definitely make a similar bounce back for another team.

 

[mcleex]

Sure, he has played well this season (when he did get a chance to play) but there are players making less than half the salary he does who can do what he was brought in to do

plus they have a long-term future with the team because they are younger
ie. Holzer

 

[iArts]

Can't blame him. He deserves to play.

To be honest, he deserves to be in our lineup over some other guys.

 

[Anth93]

Good. Enjoy Carolina.

 

[darty]

I still don't understand why he hasn't been given another look since the incident at practice with his freak eye injury. He never had a noticeably bad game this year and plays a style that Carlyle should favour... there must be some reason for him not playing.

 

[number72]

Komisarek yet another Burke mistake that Nonis needs to clean up. And as bad as Finger signing was for Fletcher, at least he never gave Finger a NMC like Komi has meaning that Komi cannot be waived to the AHL. This was a terrible signing that hurt the leafs defence and Phaneuf's effectivness.

 

[Morguee]

Never understood the hate some have for this guy. Management brought him in and tried to fit a square peg in a round hole and it didn't work. I don't recall Komisarek complaining or ever being anything but a good soldier. He is rotting away in the press box and needs to start thinking bout his own future. It is obvious his time is done here and the quicker he gets a chance to prove himself somewhere else the better.

 

[bobbyflex]

let him play a couple games. Showcase him a little bit

 

[CoveySteele]

Money well spent.....
