I kinda feel bad for the guy. I'm pretty sure I can speak for all of us (Habs fans) and say that he was the future captain of this team. He was a leader on and off the ice. Perhaps he didn't have any real offensive output, but god damn, he was a rock defensively. All that while being physical and punishing (anyone remember his hit on Thornton in the playoffs?). Komisarek vs Tucker was such a treat to watch.
Whenever he was on the ice, I was "happy". Now, whenever he's on the ice, I'm still happy..
TL;DR : No.
What a beauty of a pass to Cammy, maybe we should bring him back after all
Komi was terrific with Markov, he has a bad contract but could be worth it IF he can regain his confidence under the guidance of Markov... For the record I am on the fence but
Komi 2 more years @ $4.5 mil
For
Spacek at $3.8 for 1 years
Selanne and Kariya were great together in Anaheim, but they were crap together in Colorado. Their careers looked over, but after going to other teams they got back on track.
I think Kommy needs a change from Toronto, but not in Montreal.
Right now the Habs is a team so pathetic physically that sure I would take him back.
Exactly. I'd take him back too. And about the argument that any D-man plays better with Markov, well any hockey player plays worse on that awful Toronto team. Also, how can we know for sure that Komisarek and Markov don't have great chemistry ? The last time Markov played a full season was when Komisarek was his partner.

Exactly what would he have done to keep Markov healthy?

What I meant is that he hasn't played a significant period of time with any other player than Komisarek to prove that he makes any player better. Maybe Komisarek feeds from Markov's strenght more than most D-man would.
