Prospect Info: Vsevolod Komarov, RD Drummondville (QMJHL) - 134th overall in 2022 (Signed)

[MarkusKetterer]

Yeah, he uses his size to lean on people and win territory. He's not a killer, but he's efficient.

So he’s playing like he’s not playing for the Sabres.

 

[Chainshot]

Saint John continuing the fine tradition of pettiness in the three stars as they lose and yet manage to give the first and third star to Sea Dogs.

 

[joshjull]

Yeah, he uses his size to lean on people and win territory. He's not a killer, but he's efficient.

But is he economic?

 

[Chainshot]

Feeds Reinhart for the Volts' 2nd goal 1:41 into the 2nd.

 

[Chainshot]

Here's the assist -



Drool warning. That's such a sweet play.

 

[Tatanka]

Here's the assist -

I like the French speaking announcer better….more hmmm…passion!

 

[Chainshot]

St. John really struggling - just had a bouncing puck go in off the goalie, then a defenseman. It's 8-1 now.

 

[Jeremy2020]

So he’s playing like he’s not playing for the Sabres.

Don't worry. There's no good habits they can't beat out of him.

 

[Chainshot]

No surprise, back to work on the top pair again tonight:

 

[Chainshot]

Rough night for the Volts - almost doubling Sherbrooke in shots but now down 4-1 in the third. Komarov with an assist on the only Volts goal so far.

 

[Chainshot]

One thing about him that sticks out every time I watch is his ability to control pucks coming off the left sideboards and shift the puck from his backhand to his forehand.

 

[Chainshot]

After going up 3-0, the Volts wind up losing 4-3 so that series is now 3-2 in Drummondville's favor. Komarov was on for most of the goals for both teams.

 

[Gabrielor]

Onto round 3 vs Victoriaville

 

[Chainshot]

2-6-8 through 12 games thus far.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

Diotte and Komarov must average 25-30 min per game and Diotte is clearly injured. It will be tough against a better team in the semi final.

 

[joshjull]

I’m very excited to see this kid in Rochester next year.

 

[Chainshot]

An absolute blast for the goal.

 

[Chainshot]

That's the game winner... 2-1 Volts in Game 1.

 

[RoyalOverNavy]

The kid can really rip a shot.
If he can improve his skating, he's going to make the League.

Yeah, he's a bit upright, looks stiff, but he does manage to get where he needs to be in a surprising number of occasions.

 

[Gabrielor]

Might not see any Black Ace in Roch; him and Savoie are both on runs.

 

[Chainshot]

I still think he's got a bit of McNabb in most things but the violence. His skating is odd looking for sure, but he moves better than McNabb did at that stage IMO. Strong positional play in his own zone, good stick, leans on people with his size and will leverage people out of the way but also capable to snap the biscuit around to get it to safety. Offensively, he's smart about jumping up in the play and as the highlight above shows, he can demand the puck for a heavy shot. He gets pucks around the net for others to extend plays.

With him and Strbak, there is certainly hope for the future right side. It's not as high end in terms of prospects, but there are people coming.

I'd argue it's better on fit.

Strbak was such a smart, precise pick for what they need.

Komarov is a booming late rounder. Ditto Novikov. You need some guys to do the dirty work, because it's what the current team is missing.

I like him, so don't take this as I hate the player, but if we draft Parekh, sure, he's a high end RD. He also doesn't bring what ails them. (I'd still pick him easily if he was the only one of the 6 big D left)

 

[Diaspora]

I'm sorry to hear that Marcel Dionne's twat exploded. Here's wishing them a speedy recovery.
