I think this was the luck we needed. Hitting on potentially the best player in the draft with the 5th pick. No offense to Celebrini but Demidov has a fair chance at being just as good or better.
I remember being worried about Demidov's size but that is not a concern anymore. If he continues to add muscle in the right areas, this kid will be a Star and a type of star that doesn't shy away from the physical stuff.

Watch Demidov suffer a season-ending knee injury during his first game of the year.

I can’t help but get the feeling that this will be a reoccurring issue with him. Let alone being coached by Torts!

There's been too many good news lately. My trauma expects season-ending injuries to all of our key players and prospects.

The grow your brand stuff made me puke a little. Of course he's not wrong. But I had a colleague recently chastise me because I share my ideas with my work colleagues instead of posting them on LinkedIn lol.
If he is indeed Kaprizov level talent or better, imagine adding Kaprizov to this lineup as is.
My lord.

Yeah, I really liked what we had before this summer and adding both Demidov and Hage made it very attractive. Those reports out there who rank teams for prospect pools and don't have the Habs top 3, are trolls! This pool has both quantity and quality. An argument could have been made we lacked quality before this summer but that can't be said anymore.
If Demidov is a top line star, this is exactly what we needed. I really like the Hage pick too. With his father passing away, that kid has lots to prove and I think his focus will be in a direct path to the NHL with minimal distractions holding him back.
I'm expulsing the voodoo out of me, because let's be honest, a lot of us have that fear/disquietude in a dormant part of our brain.

Demidov is on the 3rd line with Rendulic and Kuznetsov.

Kuz on the third is surprising, Kuz and Demidov will be a very good match i think.

Yeah, getting time with Kuznetsov is actually pretty good.

That looks more like the 1st or 2nd line honestly.
