People really underrate Komisarek's offensive ability, which is understandable considering his reputation as a big bruiser and the fact that he has just 5 points in his first 60 NHL games. But he will be as much an offensive force as a defensive force in the not too distant future. To get an idea of how he compares to the CHL products in terms of offensive potential, take a look at Duncan Keith who was a slick smooth skating offensive reargaurd who played in the CCHA then went to the WHL part way through his sophomore season. Keith had 14 points in 41 games as a CCHA freshman at MSU. Komisarek had 16 points in 41 games as a freshman. Komo averaged .75 PPG as a soph while winning the Best Defensive Defenceman award at the same time. Keith averaged .6 PPG in his partial soph season, then went to the WHL and had 47 points in 37 games. Since Komisarek was more productive than Keith in the CCHA at the same age, there is no reason to think that he would not have been at least as productive in the CHL.
By those standards, you would have expected Komo to score around 100 points in a full CHL season as a 19 year old. None of the other guys mentioned here who played in Canada, Colaiacovo, Woywitka, Daley, have come close to that. It is doubtful that Phaneuf or Coburn will either. If that is not enough, check Komisarek's scoring rate in the AHL as a first year pro against "offensive whizzes" like Dan Hamhuis or Lukas Krajicek. He averaged over .5 points per game as a rookie in the AHL. The only rookie D man who matched that a year ago was Jim Fahey, who was 3 years older than Komisarek. The only one matching that this year is Garrett Stafford who is also a couple of years older than Mike.
