1. >Komarov is third among QMJHL defensemen w/ 10 points (3 goals, 7 assists) in 13 playoff games so far.

   >Drummondville is a win away from advancing to the final. Would be a second straight appearance for Komarov, who won it last season w/ Quebec & went on to win the Memorial Cup.

   He handedly outscored Maveric Lamoureux, who was selected 105 spots before him in the same draft class.

2. I really like this front offices strategy of drafting Russian players when everyone else got scared of them. Those are the type of high risk high reward swings you need.

3. Nice.

4. Nice!

5. Nice

6. Pretty sure he was on track to win the best defensive defensemen for most of the year aswell

7. Nice.

8. isn’t the hit rate for NHL Dmen from the Q like ridiculously low? still, getting any sort of hype like this for a 5th round pick is great.

   ~~Get him an ELC~~ and see if he can win a spot in Roch next season

   edit: he’s already signed

9. Even the sports reporters are making a joke about the funny number

10. Nice
