That's insanity coming from a sure to be bottom feeding team like the Blackhawks. Wow. That would have been crazy.

People use those terms so loosely. I don't even think Bedard is generational. He's basically the Patrick Kane of this generation. Generational talents are Crosby and McDavid. That's it. Don't need a generational talent every ten years. Look at the gap between Lemieux and Crosby. I also don't use this term lightly but demidov has superstar potential and there are probably only 10 or so of those in the nhl

Isn’t it great? I’m happy as H, and frickin’ happy the fanbase is electrified.
More excitement, more goals, more Ws.
The Build seems to be rightfully balancing out.
Have a great weekend, everyone!!!
Demidov!!!!!!!!! Hage!!!!!!!!!!

We did it. We actually took him.
The sheer amount of relief I felt when Celine said "Ivan"... We've infused our talent pool with dynamic talent FINALLY.
Praise Demigod.

I think I'd make that trade assuming "another pick" was 18th overall.
But I honestly get why Columbus would pass on that. It could be out of the top-5 next season, and if you really like Lindstrom I think it makes sense to pull the trigger now.
Anyway, I'm thrilled things worked out the way they did. I'm also kinda glad he's gonna spend another year in Russia. Now we get to avoid hearing about how he was rushed by the organization.

Only thing that could top this is if he announces he’s not returning to the MHL/KHL next season, surely a brown paper bag of ‘incentiveness’ could accidentally be misplaced

Haha that was amazing, Celine taking her sweet time.
But why are we still underrating Slaf? It's not obvious to me that Demidov will be better. He can be of course but we're acting like Hughes finally got the draft right.
And I don't want to seem like I'm picking on you. It's a pretty common feeling in this thread. Slaf can end up being one scary f***ing player. I won't be surprised at all if Slaf is still the crown jewel of this org when all is said and done.

I hope they learned from Galchy and the Kostitsyn brothers. We need a Russian mentor for him. He is probably our most skilled forward since Alex Kovalev. We need to bring back Markov with the team. Markov could be a great mentor for him.

Going from Anderson/Gallagher+Matheson to Demidov+Hutson on the PP should make a difference

Why would you assume that they wanted Demidov over Lindstrom? Based on their Boisvert selection I think they were looking for more size and aggression.
