[ChikN]

He just needs to learn how to say “I must break you”

We need the same GIF with “Khe lose” as a caption.

Demigod is learning french

Franchise player?

Joueur francais

To be doing so early at this stage a few things need to be happening in Demidov’s head:

1- He needs to already be so sure about his talent that he’ll have a long career in the NHL
2- He needs to really know that he wants to play in Montreal for years
3- He needs to know that Montreal will keep him for a very long time

None of our top-10 picks in the last 30 years could say the same. This is in the cap world not in the 1950s. Even Slafkovsky was better served just focusing on improving his shortcomings to make it for sure.

I think you're looking too much into it.

From interviews Demidov comes across as a very worldly and curious person. Can't say the same for most players...who, frankly, are insulated meat-heads.

He knows he's gonna be in Montreal... so, shit!, how cool would it be to learn French!.
I think fans in Montreal are gonna love him.

deni is taking good advice. his english is ok but he wants it to get much better and he already knows he must try to learn some french also. just the fact he already knows just trying to learn some french will go MILES for the quebec fans. It sure leads me to believe he want to play here and for a long long time. YES if all goes well the habs will make him a rich man. If he proves he is a top player in the next 2-3 years habs will not wait to lock him up in a rich 8 year contract making his future finances set in stone.

yet I've seen a few 'scouts' say its one of his weaknesses. Idiots


OR
4. He's seen the young french poon in Montreal and this made speaking the language a priority.
I know which number I'm betting on

To be perfectly honest, I don’t think that will be the difference for him having a date or not on a given Saturday night.

Well it’s impressive some Russian and foreign players spend a career in the NHL and don’t even speak English as well as Demidov so he’s obviously very sharp. The extent for some players is: « I shoot. I shoot. I score ».

Sometimes. But some people's brains just aren't wired to learn different languages no matter how much they put into it. Datsyuk's english is terrible for someone who spent 14 years in the NHL, yet he's exceedingly astute if you listen to him in Russian. Then there's Chara who can learn languages like its simple math.

What matters is the effort. And Demidov puts forth loads of effort, which is fantastic

They probably/hopefully we’re referring to tip speed which maybe the only thing that isn’t world beating. Shot too but he seems to have made strides there

SKA just traded another young player in the final year of his contract (Sinyatkin); presumably to get him more ice time. Sinyatkin had no chance on SKA's roster, maybe he will with Kunlun.

I envision the same treatment for Demidov in the event Rotenberg is too idiotic not to play him.

Between you and me, are there really six better offsensive players on SKA??? If so, Habs need to sign all 6 as soon as possible, we’ll have a dynasty

Yeah that is my read of the situation as well. I'm sure quite a few of us would also try to learn the language a bit beforehand if we were moving to a different country. I admire his curiosity though!

lol Nobody on SKA has Demidov's talent. But he's still a U20, so experience, and physical/mental maturity need to be accounted for. That said, Rotenberg values 'maturity' to nonsensical levels. .

If Demidov keep performing like he did in pre-season and still isn't in the top 6, Rotenberg should quit coaching and go do stand-up comedy.
But nothing surprises me anymore.

Hmmm and it’s not like he is coming from Attractive women bareland either .
He for one might not be as hungry on arrival as many !

To the Russians on this board, it’s probably best Demidov plays in the KHL and SKA this season. He doesn’t need to come to the Montreal zoo one year sooner than necessary. But I confess I already want to fly over now. Apparently, I’m not the only one. That’s how selfish and psychologically flawed I am.

This is me with the large pizza I probably shouldn't be eating.
