He must give a list of 12 teams at the start of every training camp, but as the tweet says, at this point he'd accept any trade.
Rumor: Mike Komisarek: Gave a list of 12 teams, but wants a trade.

Montreal maybe? They sure could use some truculence, seeing as it appears they're gonna lock up a playoff spot, why not grab some grit?
I believe one of the most important reasons why he didn't play was to ensure that he does not get injured this year. So that the Leafs can buy him out upon the end of the season.
Nice guy, but he never really worked with us. He seemed a bit promising at the beginning of the season but the Leafs have good depth in D.
If he does get traded to another team for some ice time, good luck to him and I wish him all the best.

Id rather tell him to go home and buy him out in the summer than waist cap space on him next season.
No problem with taking back another bad contract for him tho. We can just buy that player out instead.

So does NYI have a need? Sounds like that's always been a preferred option and it is nice - where possible - to do right by players.

If he was the Komisarek of old when he played here sure, but not with the way he has been playing (mostly) with you guys. Especially not for that contract. I'm probably one of the biggest Komi fans left as a Hab fan, and I can honestly say that I doubt the habs would even look his way.

We haven't exactly been the best judges of defensive talent here.

I just hope the leafs don't take some of his cap hit in a trade. Would rather just amnesty him if that's the case. Don't need more dead cap space.

@markhmasters: Komisarek amused about questions on report he wants out of Toronto: 'It must be a slow news day,' he said with a laugh
@markhmasters: Leafs' Komisarek on @andystrickland report he's looking for trade: 'I’m not going to be commenting on what someone in St. Louis said.'

Who knows, it may all be smoke and nothing is going on, or Komisarek may be just keeping his mouth shut, to see what happens.

That's hard to know and what Komisarek is saying, do you believe Andy Strickland, a writer based in St. Louis.
He's right in a a way because people like MacKenzie or Dreger, have not said anything about Komisarek wanting to be moved.
It doesn't mean to say though, that the Blues may not have been approched by the Leafs, to offer Komisarek in a trade and Strickland being close to the Blues, may have heard something, that's the reason these things are called "Rumours" but how much is fact and how much is fiction.

It is just an interesting time for these "rumors" to really kick off.
Randy and his staff had one-on-one's with each player yesterday and expressed their own opinions of each player's performance, and also wanted feedback from the players themselves.
Komisarek is an absolute professional and wonderful locker room guy, but he's an athlete, and professional athletes want to play and want to contribute.
Allegedly after the meetings, Komisarek and Liles came out with no reassurances or confidence they would be worked back into the line up.
That is not to say that Randy wont throw them a bone if someone needs a rest, but at this point, things are quite unclear for both of their futures.

Would anyone actually expect Komisarek to come out and say "yes, I've requested a trade?"
The guy has been a consummate professional in his time here, and even if it hasn't worked out here, he's been an exceptional person in the room and to the media and organization. Hell, even to the city of Toronto and all the responsibilities he's gotten involved with.
He's not going to say "yes I requested a trade", because he's nt going to bring that attention to himself and put pressure on management.
We know Nonis and Carlyle appreciate what he's done for the team in the room, and are trying to reward that by moving him - he doesn't need to publicly admit to that.
Andy is an NHL and hockeybuzz writer based in St. Louis - covers the Blues.

Something has to bust in the VERY near future though. Frattin and Lupul will be knocking on the door over the next couple weeks (days? in Fratttin's case). We need the roster room.

Your quite right something will have to happen and it's being reported that no one was put on waivers today, so that means...
a/ Holzer, Komarov or Frattin will be sent to the Marlies( Frattin for conditioning )
b/ A trade for a draft choice, or a prospect, or a multi-trade with us recieving one less Leaf player, to get to the Minimum 23 player limit.
