As for his puck carrying, I don't blame you for being skeptical but it's an area he's made significant improvement in recently. He's on pace to shatter his career high in assists and that's because he's become much more comfortable with bringing the puck into the offensive zone. He also has a better shot than a lot of people realize, though that's obviously not a key aspect of his game.

I'll take your word on the puck carrying, I usually avoid Pens games except for the PA battles (and with the way those are going, maybe I should start avoiding them too), but at least we can agree Komo is terrible.

I believe in democracy, the final decision was made by the group, not one man.

They've gone down a good road with Tlusty, I'm hoping they accidentally draft a porn star within the next 3-4 seasons.

Good call I didn't know that, regardless though, I think there will still be a pretty distinct international style (more skilled players, less grinders) which tends to hurt a guy like Komisarek.
