Did he really?

He threw his hits sure.

But the bolded...

I have said this before, there is no one in the Leafs organization that plays his style or is ready, never said he can't be replaced, he just can't be replaced with what he does within the Marlies team.

Well he certainly knew how to piss people off.
- UsernameUnknown

He did.


Now Komarov pissed off whom?

sold!

Like toronto is growing, its only up from here with the talent and youth we have here, new jersey needs a full rebuild, their team is a disaster

that's cute. All I was doing was agreeing with the origional post anyways. If you don't agree that losing a heart and soul guy that played on the edge like Tucker who we haven't had since Tucker is no big deal and is easily replaceable that's your opinion, but I don't agree.
- Jay Uller

I liked Darcy Tucker. Played with an edge, and put the puck in the net. But by the time we “lost” Darcy Tucker, he was done for and useless.

You're seriously comparing Leo Komarov to Darcy Tucker. Talk about cute.

"on the edge like tucker" does not mean komarov = tucker

Stop being so nit picky, all I came here to do was talk hockey, not argue a point where I go into detail and deal with stupid blanket responses

- AdamFrench

Not even close to what Komarov brings, Hamilton does provide a little more offence, but no, not the same type of player.

edit: but will probably make the Leafs if signed.

I know, he's better.

Here's a thought. Instead of paying komarov 1.5-2M, lets say he gets 2M if he signed with us, wouldn't it be a smarter move to use that 2M toward signing a guy like clarkson
- Mapleleafs_91

No. Not for the $4M+ Clarkson will get.

hr gave us some incredible years, but the fire in his eyes seemed to go out and he was never the same after

5'8", 187 lbs.

I loved his willingness to throw the body, but let's not pretend he was a one-man wrecking crew.
- Atomic Wedgie

You have a point. But he was one of the 4 or 5 parts of this team that made other teams not want to (frank) with them.

Okay, Komarov leaves. There's 1. People say we don't need Orr and McLaren both. We take one out. There's two. Now we have 1 of McLaren/Orr, and Fraser.

By next year we'll be getting walked all over like years past.

We played more physical this year than any of the past nine years and clearly it had a positive impact.

Addition: Carlyle loves that brand of hockey.

Getting on your nerves too, lol.

I like him and thought he should have been up all season, rather him in the lineup than Orr.

If Bozie goes it makes sense, slide him into the 4th and bump everyone up

I would be happy keeping ALL of McClaren, Komarov, Mark Fraser, and Orr.

Komarov is now an enforcer eh? That one fight in his NHL career against the slugger Chris Kelly.

Getting on your nerves too, lol.

When I'm in the mood to I can put up with it as long as my arguements have value. But I'm not in the argue something so trivial.... right now ahaha

stop being so dense ffs you know what he means

it's not that he throws, it's that he makes opponents take the extra glance. I haven't watched a Leaf finish that many hits in years, usually it's the uniterested slow down and curl.

Never called him an enforcer. Just said he made the team tougher. And if you don't think 170 hits, and where he will stand up for himself when the time comes, is a beneficiary to toughness of a team, well then- Good for you.

1 shot noted

Komorov is so replaceable and I hope they move or buyout grabovski as in a 64 mill cap world grabovski has a bad contract for a 4th line centre.
