Prospect Info: [2024 - 5th] Ivan Motherbleeping Demidov (RW), SKA St. Petersburg (MHL)

[Saundies]

No matter what happens this season - mix or no mix, good or meh pick, whatever... Just remember:

He's coming.

 

[HomaridII]

What is going on!? Seriously, what's happening!?

We managed to get a generational talent, with a bulldog mentality and a hard working consume hockey 100% of the time mentality who also happens to ooze charisma.

The hockey gods were smiling on the habs that day. If there was player born to play here it’s Ivan demidov.

OK, but what is happening in the game? LOL...

10000%

Demidov is coming. Fowler is coming.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

What the actual f**** lmao

What am I watching

2-0 ska up. Second period just started. Both goals demidov.

 

[FrankMTL]

Ivan Demidov chose violence for 2025. What a goal.

 

[morhilane]

interesting to know what transpired for him to be playing on the 1st line. Hughes worked his magic?

what a goaaaaal.

Kuznetsov got injured long term, but Rotten kept Demidov with Plotnikov. So either Plotnikov asked to play with Demidov, or Hughes managed to convince Rotten that he (Rotten) would look much better if Demidov was a KHL star before he is an NHL star so he can take credit in developping him...

 

[McGuires Corndog]

Ladies and gentlemen, we got him.

 

[Goalfield13]

2-0 ska up. Second period just started. Both goals demidov.

Thank you.

That's exactly why I am not panicking about the 'rebuild'. Our top prospect and eventual franchise player is not yet on the team. It's basically like watching the Sharks without Celebrini or the Hawks without Bedard. The talent level of the kid will improve the habs top 6 massively as soon as next season.

 

[HomaridII]

SKA now 4-0 up. Second period almost over. Demidov no involvement in the other two goals.

 

[Riggins]

Thank you Trevor Timmins, we endured your picks for way too long but you made sure to pick a physical beast with a bad back so we could get Demidov.

 

[Rapala]

SKA now 4-0 up. Second period almost over. Demidov no involvement in the other two goals.

The f*** is wrong with him.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

If he doesn't get a hattrick he's a bust and I want him traded ASAP.

 

[Goalfield13]

The f*** is wrong with him.

Bust.

 

[Gravity]

SKA now 4-0 up. Second period almost over. Demidov no involvement in the other two goals.

He did the needful of beating the opponent and is now letting his teammates have some glory

 

[Koivu11]

Funny how the Michkov fanboys on the main boards had fits when we dared to compare Demidov to him

He might even be better.

 

[Rapala]

Thank you Trevor Timmins, we endured your picks for way too long but you made sure to pick a physical beast with a bad back so we could get Demidov.

To be fair it was the Beckett Sennecke pick that did it for us Pat Verbeek is the one to thank.
That back was not supposed to be an issue and Lindstrom went where most people thought he would.
Not that I was for drafting a kid with back problems.

 

[JIMVINNY]

Not like I'm complaining but I prefer to see some one timers and snips from outside the hash marks. Something he can work on moving forward so I guess I'll enjoy the show for now.

It sounds like complaining is EXACTLY what you're doing. Only on this board could we be discussing a 5th overall pick that has potentially generational talent, and you're whining because he scored some goals from too close to the goalie. Unreal.

 

[crosbyshow]

..jeez..with a goal like this..Putin will be involve soon and say..this kid stay in Russia.

I am kidding but I will be so relieve when he will pose his feet in Montreal Trudeau this Summer.

Until then I am always a bit scare with the Russians involve around him

 

[Adam Michaels]

And I just watched his 10 min highlight vid AND MTL draft Vid just yesterday lol..
Had a feeling

This kid changes everything.

The slow way Celine Dion announced the pick and builds up anticipation right before she announces "Ivan Demidov" is chef's kiss.

 

[Habs Halifax]

I am evaluating without being gullible. Sorry about that and how that makes you feel.

I felt he was the better far more complete player when I finally got to see him in the KHL.
If they went into a re-draft today I'm fairly certain which player most teams would opt for.

 

[Matthew McConaughay]

Just got up, Ivan has 2 goals so far ?
