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

[SnuggaRUDE]

Point-wise, has cooled down a bit with only 1 assist in his last 4 as Quebec has gone 2-2-0 in those games. Still, the guy has chops and I would be surprised if they don't sign him by summer, especially considering the lack of depth on the blueline.

Likewise. 80% or so to be signed.

Is this our best defensive prospect aside from Johnson? Or would it be Lindgren?

You know we’re deep on D prospects when you forget Lyckasen exists

Except they're all far away emotionally, physically or timewise

Well yes. Although I thought he was now a free agent. And I wouldn’t have been able to name 5 prospects now that Laaksonen is traded.

I'll be curious to see what they do with Novikov. His contract in the KHL ends after the season, and I wonder if they try to get him over here and down to Rochester.

I would like that very much. With Kisakov already in the fold, it could be interesting to get Novikov down there for next year and Komarov the year after.

Novikov and Kisakov both played at Dynamo... Wonder if Novikov will/has picked kisakov's mind about Roch

I'd imagine there is some chatter and they are both rep'd by the same agency.

Novikov is a guy that wouldn't be too far away and just what we're currently lacking. I can see him being ready in a year and a half after he comes over.

 

[The Blunder Years]

Damn we could use some dmen in the pipeline.

Komarov made an important save without his stick and on a 2 on 1 with the net empty. Quebec then tied the game. He also scored his team's first goal and was named 1st star.

Edit : I just realized the save was on another Sabres prospect Olivier Nadeau.

 

[Chainshot]

I am looking to see when they post a video of it, but he just scored a last-second OT winner that was a thing of beauty, winding up 2nd star against Sherbrooke.

While I'm waiting for Quebec to post the video, this was his goal in the last game (he also picked up the OT assist on the GWG by Bolduc but that was more just chipping it to the man flying up the ice who goes one-man-show to end it):

Okay, no tweet clip, but it's in the game video highlights:

He often beats players like that because they don't expect him having hands.

He often beats players like that because they don't expect him having hands.

I mean, he did get lucky in that the Phoenix chance early that went over his stick wound up going wide, but it's seeing him getting the time late in games, with things on the line, is exciting. Especially so with the almost near lack of RHD prospects in their pool, it makes it all the sweeter to see him having success.

It didn't go wide, the goalie stopped it with his stick.

That's an amazing save then.

3rd goal in 3 games

Named 2nd star for a 2nd night in a row

 

[SergeConstantin74]

His coach had great words for him tonight.

“He is really impressive. We always wonder what his ceiling will be and he continues to surprise us. His progress is impressive, admitted Patrick Roy after the game. He plays with confidence, he supports the attack. There must be some NHL teams biting their fingers right now because it's so beautiful to watch him play. »
