Kazimir Komarov shocked the league when he decided this offseason to retire. Komarov was in the middle of a cup run, an looks like the potential MVP of this playoffs. He was only 2 seasons removed from his draft, with signs pointing towards a successful player in the bigs. It was stunning, choice to retire but he is happy to go out a champ and potentially the playoff MVP. 

 

In his 3 seasons in the VHLM he posted 112, 116, and 69 points. His low scoring season, he was not even playing on any line up the first 20 games. To put it lightly he was a star in juniors, the best his family had ever produced. Moscow was excited to see what the next Komarov could do for them at the next level. They knew it was coming this season an followed Saskatoon cup run the whole way seeing him racking up points on route to the cup. 

 

Moscow who shocked everyone, when the sold off their respective assets and started to rebuild. Still made the playoffs an even in fact won a round. However, alot of attention started to turn to the 3 prospects in Saskatoon who were expected to make the Menance in Brandt, Krestanovich, and Komarov. Brandt and Komarov had be amazing offensive talents in the VHLM, well Krestanovich was a stud two way player with solid offensive numbers. These 3 players, helped represent the future of the team in the hopes of another few cup years.

 

The question is now, why did he do it. Well he lacked motivation, he was not developing well. He would have made a solid role player but beside that did it really matter. He showed up to camp would practice sometimes, but not always. Some weeks he was a beast, others he was no where to be seen. The agent admitted it was hard for Komarov to decide he was going to retire. However, the agency has a new upcoming talent one who has become motivated to be a star. He works his ass off, so far already much more committed to the cause then Komarov was in his early days. 

 

So what has changed, the agent has told VHLM teams, and VHL teams following his new players career that time has opened up. It is a life change, the agents son has completed kemo and now the agent will be moving his life towards background work that can be done from his home. Freeing up time for the agent, to focus on his players future. 

 

The next generation, is Vsevolod Askarov a goaltender hailing from the motherland Russia. The 6 foot 6 goaltender weighs in at 220 pounds, and is a future starter and potential hall of famer in which they hope. He comes to the league with his brother Agrapov Askarov a big defender is his own rights. He has cleared the front of Vsevolod crease since they started playing hockey at a young age. 

 

Time will tell just how good this new prospect is going to be. If he can really be a future starter in the most demanding position in all of hockey.
