"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."
