2022 NHL Draft | Under the Microscope: Vsevolod Komarov – LHJMQ

He’s only been in North America since October, but Russian-born Vsevolod Komarov has made a strong first impression with his play and his quick grasp of the English language. The fast-rising 17-year-old defenseman plays a modern game that is catching the eye of scouts ahead of June’s 2022 NHL Entry Draft.

Uncle Vsevolod!

 

[Andy Lehoux]

"Komarov is a smart, steady two-way defenseman who revealed splendid offensive instincts and defensive capabilities. He exhibited excellent hockey sense and a tremendous positioning, activating himself in neutral zone, taking advantage of open space on the cycle and timing his pinches perfectly. He moved the puck around fluidly and kept his shots from the point low, allowing for rebounds. Komarov even sparkled a bit of creativity at times, using fakes to create the space necessary to step up from the point and feed an ally in the slot. If he could improve his mobility, fluidity and quickness, he could become lethal offensively. The Russian prospect kept his head up on puck retrieval/breakout situations, which benefited him in his quest of finding open outlets. When carrying the puck in transition, he used linear crossovers to stay elusive and find skating lanes to the offensive end. In his own zone, Komarov displayed a superb strength, helping him neutralize opponents in board plays and win most of his battles. He showcased a decent gap control and an overall splendid competitive spirit as well. Although the production hasn’t come yet for Komarov, his play on the ice has been impressive. He could be worth a look in the early-to-middle rounds of the draft."

Huge game winning goal with 54 seconds left in the game. Quebec takes the series lead 1-0.



I also like his description of his goal:

Touch puck. Go shot. Puck in net. Goal.

(at 9:40)

Great game but a bullshit goal. The Shawinigan coach went nuclear and rightfully so, as that puck was covered.

Like his game though. Starts off slow and then starts rushing the puck when the game got tougher. Nause was outstanding as well.

No it wasn’t. Look closely at the replay, he can’t put his glove on it and the puck slides to his pad. It was in front of his pad uncovered and that’s where Komarov pushed it. The referee has the right angle to see it uncovered. People behind the net also saw it. Even the goalie said afterwards he didn’t know if he had it.

The coach lost the game for his team taking this penalty with 54 seconds left. Shawinigan is strong with a man advantage but he cancelled it. He even apologized after the game for his behavior. The controversy after the game was more about if the ref had the intention to blow the whistle before the puck went in there’s no goal but only the ref knows that for sure.

That save

 

[De Montreal]

Looks like he's progressing very nicely!

Is he a pair with Evan Nause? Those two seems like rock solid, looking at their stats.

 

[Chainshot]

That save

I love that Twitter thinks of that as "sensitive content". Must be some complaints from Gatineau fans... (That said, it was interesting to see him and Nadeau go up against one another. Hoping the best for both, really.)

As of now, he looks like a really strong 5th round pick for the Sabres.

 

[De Montreal]

Two points in a 5-4 OT win yesterday.

Québec fans, is he your number 1 dman? Or is that more Evan Nause?

 

[GettingYourMoms]

Vševolod rules them all!

 

[Caser]

 

[SergeConstantin74]

He has a lot of interesting qualities. Physical presence, as good in his own zone as he is in the offensive zone and nice hands. His skating has also improved a lot over the past year. He could be a steal in the 5th round for the Sabres.
