Is Mike Komisarek Jesus?

Question

Mike Komisarek got his SECOND point of the season last night against the Coyotes.

My questions are, should he:

1. Get a raise? He only makes 4.5 million per year. I think he deserves more.

2. Be named to every All-Star game for the rest of forever? He totally didn't ride Andrei Markov's coat tails when he was named last year. What centennial bias?

3. Get to wear a "J" on his sweater? After all, he does share a lot of qualities with Jesus. He can turn perfectly good plays into turnovers and missed shots. I call that a miracle.

Seriously, what does this guy get paid for? Sure, not all defensemen are there to put up points, but he doesn't do anything else. I'm beginning to think that players are getting paid these days based on how hyped up they've become rather than how they play the game.

Serious question: Are player salaries really based on ability these days, or are GM's just dropping money on big name players because they increase the celebrity factor of their teams? Is having star players to draw crowds more important than winning games?

3) is awesome LMAO !!
In my opinion, Komi is definately the hockey equivelant of Jesus, he doesn't enjoy getting nailed to the boards and then suddenly expects everybody to worship him.

Am I detecting a little sarcasm here? I don't know how/what salaries are based on.  Now, the odds are if a team has enough "star" players they are more likely to win games which will bring more people to the games.  (I am probably wrong though!)

Now come on! You could put his smiling face on any chicken bucket and Toronto merchants would benefit from the boom. I'm sure the Chicken would sell even in Boston. The guy is worth millions to all of us who don't see him anymore.
