Any guess on what the lines could look like?

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

Let’s see how many minutes he gets.

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

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.

 

[EveryDay]

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

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

 

[Hannibal]

Hopefully he gets full of quality minutes.

Stay humble, don’t become like your douchebag linemate/captain

 

[Hannibal]

Stay humble, don’t become like your douchebag linemate/captain

And stat away from his cocaine bag.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Stay humble, don’t become like your douchebag linemate/captain

Yeah, getting to play with Kuznetsov will be really good for him hockey wise, but I sure hope Demidov doesn't spend any more time than absolutely necessary around the guy outside the rink.

 

[Doom Bot]

The line they have listed at 2 is more like their 1st line if you look at the stats. Demidovs line is probably 1 or 2

 

[Rob Sense]

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

We should not talk about line numbers and Kuznetsov!

 

[le_sean]

Yeah, getting to play with Kuznetsov will be really good for him hockey wise, but I sure hope Demidov doesn't spend any more time than absolutely necessary around the guy outside the rink.

Even on the ice. Score your goal, put your hands in the air. Don’t do stupid animal celebrations. Save that shit for important OT goals.

 

[SlafySZN]

He’s so much fun.

I’ve had a blast watching him last season and now he’s doing the same but in the KHL.

 

[26Mats]

that was weak sauce on that finish there, he gotta go 100 till the end

That's ok, in Montreal, he'll be able to just dish it to Laine for the finish.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Even if he didn't get an assist for the pass, he should get an assist for running the interference alone

The Mike Babcock special pick play

 

[Demigod Gloves]

Still can't believe we got him at 5th, he could've had 3 points on that period alone.

So far it definitely feels like one of those picks people will look back on in 5, 10 years and say, how did the other teams pass on him?

We don't even have to wait 5 - 10 years, it was a legitimate question on draft day.

Exactly, the only knock on him was the level he was playing at

 

[KevSkillz4]

Demidov is the best thing to happen for Montreal Canadiens since Demidov himself.

 

[Rapala]

He's got the jump on Lindstrom so far.

 

[SlafySZN]

Exactly, the only knock on him was the level he was playing at

I had zero doubt that he would translate his game to the KHL pretty easily also

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

He's got the jump on Lindstrom so far.

You got anything to.... back that up ?
