Confirmed with Link: Mike Komisarek cleared Waivers in AHL

[mix1home]

Connolly, Komisarek, Finger... man this team really has an eye for talent lol

I think NYR fans can say something about great UFAs pickups...

Truth is if guy hits FA then his team does not think that he is good enough for salary he demands (in most cases).

Should have done so before we went on a five game losing streak and are now in a three way tie for 8th place...

What? Are you guys unaware that Komisarek was in the press box the entire time?

This has no bearing on the current team we ice.

Pretty big over exaggeration

No, not really at all

 

[anderson3133]

No, not really at all

Are you forgetting that Gardiner was in the minors for most of this season?

 

[Patty Lee]

Is it assumed Komisarek requested this?

it is by me

 

[ACC1224]

Tis but a joke.

Ok, good one.

Rip - l.a.c.k. [With original threads]

A monumental occasion in the Burke/Nonis era of leafs history. A thread to look back and celebrate.

Only thing that makes sense or you'd have to think it would have happened much earlier.

I remember him being concussed ... and having ot recover - if thats what you're eluding to?


It would probably be wise to hold off any judgements on the Gardner vs Holzer situation until we actually see Gardner perform in this system for an extended period of time ... just my 2cents

No, I meant cleaning house in general, complaining that there were roster issues keeping Gardiner down. All they had to do was put Holzer in the AHL and Komisarek on waivers.

 

[Stephen]

No idea why they waited so long for the Komisarek move.

My Accountant said to me last week, "it would be better if your Wife earned less". True story.

tell your accountant I'll trade you wives

FINALLY - LOVE THAT NONIS HAS IN A FEW SHORT WEEKS CHANGED THE ENTIRE DYNAMIC OF THIS HOCKEY CLUB.

Glad Komi finally waived his NMC

If he doesn't get picked up his salary is still counted against the Cap even if he plays with the Marlies. Nothing has changed there are still several immovable contracts going forward.

Rest in pieces?

If he had to recover, as you suggest, he wouldn't have been playing.

 

[DaveT83*]

If Komi had a NMC - its up to him to waive it. Even if he was approached by management.

I was getting worried that Komi had already mentally retired from playing hockey professionally - seeing that he had zero chance of making the roster - was a permanent healhty scratch for over a year now ... yet still showed up to "work" every day with a smile on his face.

Some might call this professional - I certainly don't.

All they had to do was place Holzer in the AHL, something that Nonis refused to do until yesterday. Nonis and Carlyle are also the ones who kept Jake out of the line-up for Holzer.

 

[Patty Lee]

couldn't go in the KOMI thread?

 

[Erndog]

So if he gets hurt with the Marlies and into the summer we can't buy him out?

Why didnt we just go the accelerated buyout route like the Rangers and Redden and MTL and Gomez?

He showed up against the Bruins last year when some more loved players put their tails between their legs and played dead.

It was a disgusting display from the so-called leadership on the team.

You don't think Komisarek requested this?

Please elaborate... I bet Luongo hasn't been professional nor has Iginla if this is the precedent which you hold them to

why wouldn't you? what would you call it?

There's a reason why most people consider their to be a difference in playing feilds between the AHL and NHL.

Yeah and I've been saying all along, they should have made "room" for Gardiner by cleaning house as they did for Kadri when they dumped Lombardi and Connolly. And they finally did that today, after falling two spots in the standings and losing five in a row.
