Leo Komarov, a sixth round pick of the Maple Leafs in the 2006 entry draft, has developed into a folk hero, of sorts, and a Toronto fan favourite. Komarov had some hidden offensive ability that belied his usage under Randy Carlyle during the 2012-13 season, when averaged only 13:56 a game in his first stint with the club. Earlier in the lockout-shortened season, after a short 14-game stay with the Toronto Marlies, Komarov played in the KHL for Dynamo Moscow for 13 games, at times sharing the ice alongside stars such as Alexander Ovechkin and Nicklas Backstrom.
