Stunning contracts (Part two)

   Some people were stunned when Mike Komisarek signed a one-year contract on the first day of free agency. The one thing most people don`t know, and I just found out, is he has an ironclad no movement clause. So cannot be sent to the minor league, which means he`s a Carolina Hurricane all year.
   Despite playing the entire season in the AHL…. The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed defenseman Paul Ranger, to a one-year, 1 million dollar contract…. You`re asking yourself who cares, two things. One it`s a one-way deal, secondly he`s got a full no movement clause. When it`s all said and done, he`s going nowhere anytime soon.
   I originally thought it was a typo when it came up on the TV screen, Joey Crabb signing with the Florida Panthers, two years both of which are guaranteed (one-way contract). Obviously either coach Kevin Dineen or GM Dale Taloon like Crabb enough to make a multiyear commitment.
   Former Flyer Harry Zolniercyzk shockingly got a one year guaranteed contract from the Pittsburgh Penguins. He`s obviously impressed someone within the organization, but again I would have thought Zolniercyzk was destined for a minor league career.
