So you may have heard that the [Florida Panthers](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/florida-panthers?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) signed 2013 second overall draft pick [Aleksander Barkov](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/198963/aleksander-barkov?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) to a [contract extension](https://www.pensionplanpuppets.com/nhl-twt/). What does this have to do with the [Toronto Maple Leafs](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/toronto-maple-leafs?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), you ask?

Well, Barkov invited fellow Finnish-Russian player [Leo Komarov](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/156612/leo-komarov?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) \- who is in Florida tonight, as the Panthers host the Leafs in Toronto's penultimate game before the All-Star Break - to the press conference officially announcing his extension.

Poor kid.

Of course, later tonight, we'll likely found out the very specific details of just what Komarov Style entails. Hopefully it's All-Star quality, because that's how Komarov is going to spend his weekend!

And to confirm: Komarov, indeed, did not show up.
