Prospect Info: [2024 - 5th] Ivan Motherbleeping Demidov (RW), SKA St. Petersburg (MHL)

[Kshahdoo]

Russia U23 is obviously not KHL level team. Demidov and Koromyslov (#9) are only KHL level players on the team.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Teammates aren't doing him any favors this period, lotta sloppy play and simple turnovers when they get possession. Nice plays in his own end to get them pointed forward last shift.

Damn, I could have put that in.

Laine would have put the puck through the net.

He makes plays like that in the NHL he'll have 100 points.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Why was Zavragin even in after the first.. he didn't have it and now you are down 4.

 

[Naslundforever]

Well then. Fun to watch Demidov but iiiiiish are russia not gelling. Level not that great.

edit - shout out to technology, casing on the big tv from my phone working perfect.

The kid looked solid vs Sochi, but he's just 19 so consistency isn't there yet.

He's standing out almost every shift and creating against a structured KHL team with pretty much 0 help. That's about as good as you can hope for here. With quality linemates he has 2 assists minimum today.

It's gonna be even tougher vs Ak Bars and SKA which are top KHL teams.

 

[HomaridII]

They should just bring him over now.

No way he will get minutes in a top KHL team simply because of the culture over there, specially if they see him as a center. Bring him over now.

If there was a legal way to do it...the question is...what true options does Hughes have?
I think Demidov wants to play in Russia this year.

 

[MTL Dirty Birdy]

100 percent. We are still young....but we are a legit playoff threat. Not sure we have the horses to make a deep run quite yet. But, we should be knocking on the playoff door. The key is in those defencemen as you said. I'm looking for Guhle to take a massive step this year in maturity in that shut down role.

I feel Guhle will really come into his own once Mathewson leaves and he can claim his natural side again

 

[Hacketts]

bro..

 

[WeThreeKings]

Popov over Volokhin goes exactly as you'd expect. Lmfao Volokhin 3rd goalie behind this clown.

 

[MTL Dirty Birdy]

Chances are his fingerprints were all over that PLD disaster in L.A.
I won't be surprised to see him being quietly moved out when his contract is coming to an end.
Will he find work after that?

He’ll end up in CLB with Timmins

 

[McGuires Corndog]

What is everyone’s thoughts on Demidov at c? Seems the organization thinks he has potential as one.

I think I’d prefer him stay a winger, personally. I want him as unrestricted as possible for max offensive potential.

So, what you're saying is... the other team decided to... Popov on him ?

You go to bad pun jail right now !

Straight to jail.

3 points in 2 games against KHL level competition ain't too shabby.

I don’t like it, I don’t know how they project from where he’s played besides a game here or there. That was so weird as a point in the doc.

Keep him where he is, he’s almost perfect as is. Reminds me of sending Drouin to the C….

 

[WeThreeKings]

So, what you're saying is... the other team decided to... Popov on him ?

Yes and they better put Volokhin at least as back up for next game.

3 points in 2 games against KHL level competition ain't too shabby.

Should have 3 assists in this game.

Almost a sick assist at the end there, too.

I can't believe 11 in white is ours

I don't even care what happens this year

That brain and skill isn't withering up and dying anytime soon, he'll never lose that

Don't think it happens really

But I mean
Should the worst happen and BOTH Suzuki and Dach are missing a game because of injury or wtv
THEN if you wanna try and test it out go right ahead, by all means, see how it goes

But in the grand scheme of things and everyone healthy he's a RW

I love how even without seeing his number, you know right away who's Demidov . His game with the puck is just so freaking electric, it jumps out of the screen. He definitely has that Lane Hutson thing going, you just want him to have the puck and go with it.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Man he was electric in the 3-on-3 and then of course scored a beauty.
