If his agent wants to compare him to Komisarek, alright then. it must mean that he sucks and isn't worth 5 million cuz that describes Komisarek. you sure you want to compare yourself to that?

So is it worrying news that Murray has admitted contract talks with Anton haven't moved very far? Did Anton just say he'd only talk contracts after the Olympics? What is Anton asking for? How much is too much? What does the Sutton signing mean for Anton? What are the Anton camp using for comparison when talking dollars and cents?
If he is using Komisarek as his bench mark then Anton isn't in Ottawa next year. A player that Ottawa has been linked with is Marek Zidlicky, well Zidlicky has far more points than Anton this year and has just signed a 3yr $12 million contract extension with Minnesota. Is this the new benchmark, if so Anton being around next year is a lot more plausible even though I think 4 million a year for such an offensively challeneged dman is too much.
