Some quotes by Scouts: (each paragraph a different scout)

Demidov is a dexterous, mechanically sound puck handler with the sort of fast-twitch wrists necessary to bring his ideas to life. Every move serves a purpose.

Demidov is an elite offensive talent with elite hockey sense in high danger scoring areas. Some players are programmed to battle more than others and Demidov’s combination of skill and will is noticeable.

The most dynamic offensive talent in this draft

A fantastically creative, dynamic, intelligent, and potent winger, Ivan Demidov could develop into a perennial Top 10 scorer league-wide. He finds highly effective yet stunningly creative solutions to many problems he encounters.

He’s the best puck handler we’ve scouted in the past 3 drafts, Bedard included.

SKA all the best play but Nikishin who's unjured, and (I hope) Demidov.

He is #11 on Team Russia not SKA lol

Good D zone awareness by him on Kuznetsov there (wearing the C for Ska)

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

The entire game has been a PK lol I half expect putin to get on the ice for SKA on the next pp here yawn

 

[Redux91]

U23 ties it , 1-1
1st INT

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Nice goal by the youngsters

Even when it's not PK it still looks like a top KHL team vs a VHL one. SKA doesn't even let Russia U23 change lines that's why Demidov doesn't play a lot.

 

[Habano]

Is Demidov injured? I saw him on the pp and one other shift.

 

[Kshahdoo]

Nice goal by the youngsters

Romanov (the kid who made the assist) is an interesting player. I'd say it would be better for Demidov to play 1st line minutes in the VHL. Him and Romanov could do some damage together.
