2022 NHL Draft: Buffalo Sabres select Vsevolod Komarov with the 134th pick

With the 134th pick the Buffalo Sabres selected Vsevolod Komarov, a right handed defenseman from the Quebec Remparts in the QMJHL.

The only viewings I had of him were in relation to watching Nathan Gaucher this past year and I didn’t come away with any notes or inkling that I should spend more time on the player. I’ll defer to others to go into more detail about his game.

The  EliteProspect Draft Guide noted that his low pace of play and production caused them to take a wait-and-see approach to Komorav.

His coach, Patrick Roy, was quoted as saying in the article linked:

“Hockey wise, I really love his poise with the puck. He’s very patient, doesn’t get rid of it, moves it very well, rarely makes mistakes on his first pass and defends really well,” Roy explained. “He’s a big, strong kid and I feel like he has a good mix of offense and defense because he’s got those skills with the puck.”
