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

[Tatanka]

Komarov won’t play the last game of the season today since Quebec clinched 1st overall yesterday. To me, that’s a proof of how valuable he is to the team. They could sit two defensemen to make sure they’re not risking injuries for the playoffs and they decided it would be him and 20 yo veteran Nico Savoie. His teammates drafted higher than him, Evan Nause (FLA 2nd round 2021) and Jeremy Langlois (PHX 3rd round 2022), are playing.

Your updates and insights are greatly appreciated. Merci.

Picking up an assist and not even on the ice when the goal is scored -

 

[SergeConstantin74]

The first play in these highlights shows he clearly improved his foot speed. He was beaten on the breakout pass but he was able to come back and kill the chance in the end.

 

[Chainshot]

Quebec vs. Rimouski in round 2, dates as listed.

 

[Chainshot]

Nice entry, gets an assist on Nause's goal:

 

[SergeConstantin74]

He didn't look good though missing that pass.

 

[Chainshot]

Not sure how he can make this pass and not get an assist, but here we are:



Edit - they finally updated the play and gave Komarov the assist he deserved.

Sadly, he's had a rough shift with Luka Verreault scoring a pair during it to bring Rimouski back to within 1 at 3-2.

 

[Old Navy Goat]

His offensive jump this season has been eye opening

It would be incredible if the Adams regime can extract NHL players from later rounds

It would be incredible if the Adams regime can extract NHL players from later rounds

Not just incredible, but necessary. Even just a few mid to late rounders turning into NHL depth is huge.

 

[Chainshot]

Quebec wins 4-2 and advances to the next round with their second sweep.

 

[Chainshot]

Komarov was +2 and had 5 hits.

I think neuchev might be a good candidate for a mid round pick

 

[SergeConstantin74]

Komarov with the nice play down the wing on the OT winner.

He finished the game with an assist, +2 and 3 hits. Quebec played with four defensemen for the last 45 minutes after losing veteran Nico Savoie to an injury.

 

[Chainshot]

Seemed to have a strong game (had it on in the background) with a +3 and a minor for high sticking that was killed off. Quebec should advance.

 

[Chainshot]

Komarov delivers the dagger - Quebec's ENG to put them up 3-1 with a minute left.

 

[Fjordy]

Any progress this season?

 

[SergeConstantin74]

Komarov suffered a knee injury in the second and he didn't come back in the game. It looked bad. No news about his injury after the game.

Well f***. That looks terrible.

 

[SergeConstantin74]

He's in the lineup for tonight but there's a 7th defenseman. Probably a game time decision.

Considering how bad it looked this is good news.

 

[HOOats]

Considering how bad it looked this is good news.

Great news. He ended up playing and was -3 in the loss, but I'm just relieved he won't miss extended time with a torn up knee. His development is tracking nicely, looking forward to seeing him at dev camp.

 

[Chainshot]

First assist, pinching down on the boards and gets enough of the puck for Malatesta to get it on net:



Second assist:

Awesome! After watching him limp off the ice after the hit he took, surprised he played. Glad to see him playing
