Komarov's strengths.

 

Pavel Komarov has 3 major strengths, his biggest of them all is his ability to win draws in every zone, in almost every way. He is a very strong man on the dot, he studies up on his opponents learns their respective strengths and weaknesses. He currently sits among the leagues best with over 57 percent of all draws won, he plays in all situations for Oslo and his strength in the face off circle is a big reason why. He models his game off Patrice Bergeron, a guy whose constantly among the league best face off men in the NHL. not a bad guy to try to play like if you ask me.

 

Komarov's second strength is much like his fathers, well its two things defense, and checking. He does the little things right, hes never not in the right position not afraid to get his hands dirty to help his team. He knows how to use his frame, skating, and stick to get him and his team out of sticky situation he wants to do everything he can to help his team win. Right now his defensive play is far from lacking, but its not as developed as his fathers was. However with his father being who he is, we can count on that improving 10 fold,we as mentioned he wants to be like Bergeron which means this will be a big area for him.

 

Pavel's last strength would be something his father never really became anymore than a decent player. His passing is much more advanced, his hockey IQ is much higher than his father he certainly has more natural ability. His ability to put the puck on his teammates stick has been put on full display this season, sitting 3rd on his team scoring. This is another aspect that he plans on improving throughout the season, and his career. He puts in the work, like his father hes seen at the gym. Working hard, hopefully his life does not befall the tragedy his father did during his career.

 

Komarov's Weaknesses

 

No player is perfect, especially when they are young they all have wholes in their respective games. Komarov's biggest weakness is much like his fathers, his shot well he can find the net on occasion he certainly wont ever wow anyone. He stated he is working on it, but he has yet to really show any major improvement he may never be a true sniper, but he may be a better shot than his dad one day.

 

His next weakness is something he has already shown a willingness to improve, his strength many of his face offs he loses he gets out muscled something he knows he has to improve for the bigger tougher opponents in the VHL. He has hit the weights hard, and with his father owning a personal gym he doesn't even have to leave the house, his willingness to improve has got scouts talking.

 

His last big weakness is puck control, another aspect he plans on improving well not that weak, he knows he needs to have softer hands going forward. His play making ability would improve ten fold with better puck control. A scout who watched his between the puck drill saw he was driven to improve, despite his obvious short comings in that area.
