LEO KOMAROV - Left Winger - 32 - $3MM Cap Hit - UFA in 2022-23
LAST UPDATED 12/30/18
"Uncle Leo," a fan favorite in Toronto, was rewarded for his play with a decently sized contract to come to NYI. Komarov plays a agitating, physical style of game, and he has shown previously that he has ~25-30 point upside playing in a bottom-6 role. He's not a shutdown player defensively, so he shouldn't be relied on as a penalty killing specialist, but in the right role Komarov can be a valuable defensive player. At 32, though, combined with his physical play style and contract, Komarov's value as a player seems to be on the verge of a sharp decline, and unless his body can withstand the wear-and-tear that is inevitable for a player like himself, Komarov may become a negative-value asset in the latter years of his contract.
