Plz tell me the Komarov signing is a joke

I will end it all if Leo came back in any capacity
All I'm saying is this: Leo Komarov came into our lives on July 1, 2018 - a day that, at the time, seemed like one of the darkest days in team history.
In his first year, 2018-19, Leo helped the team sweep the Penguins before falling at the hands of the Hurricanes.
In his second year, 2019-20, Leo helped navigate the strange new world COVID had created and brought the bubble Islanders to game 6 of the conference finals.
Not one to rest on his laurels, in 2020-21 Leo stepped up his game and wound up being promoted to the first line with Mat Barzal and Jordan Eberle, and collecting nearly 60% of the shots for while the trio was together on the ice! He helped the Islanders run to game 7 of the conference finals and nearly to the promised land.
In 2021-22, Lou betrayed us all by limiting Leo to one game with the Islanders. With Leo exiled to Siberia(metaphorically), COVID ran roughshod through the team, and the hockey gods turned a blind eye to the Islanders' trouble. Their favor had been lost. Noah Dobson was forced to carry Zdeno Chara up and down the ice every night, only to find himself stuck back in the same position the next game. The ghosts of Jack Capuano resurfaced in the form of Thomas Hickey. All was lost.
And let's be honest, friends: would you rather see Matt Martin & Ross Johnson spend all year cycling in and out of the 4th line? Or can I interest you in Kieffer Bellows spending the year sitting under Leo's Learning Tree, learning how to chirp in four different languages, and all the best ways to fall down and cause a distraction in the corner while your more talented teammates successfully exit the defensive zone?
