[CupofOil]

Congrats guys, I love seeing big talent go to Canadian markets and your fanbase was very cool with rooting for the Oilers during the Cup run so .....extra happy for you guys due to that.

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

I love you all guys, thank you ! Go Habs Go !

 

[99GoHabsGo99]

Might be the first time in my life we actually drafted who I wanted, Not saying other picks didn't work out but it's almost never who I so badly want.

Can't believe it, f***ing awesome

 

[Jabba11]

I’ve never been this happy watching a draft. All these years, leading to this perfect moment with Celine Dion announcing exactly the player we wanted from the get go. It’s a great day to be a Habs fan.

Bienvenue à Montréal Ivan Demidov!

 

[ViD]

Congrats on getting the most skilled forward in the draft !

Habs need to get Habs fan Trudeau on that asap

 

[BLONG7]

Still in absolute shock

As with many others

Hard to formulate and even TYPE words still lmao

WELCOME HOME KIDDO

Absolutely.....................Stunned this has happened.

 

[BergevinBurner]

It feels weird having such a high talent forward in our prospect pool lol.

Kent very open about the pick and very happy about it

 

[Tanknation]

Three cheers for poor-man's Michkov.

Demidov is a much better 2 way player. And bigger. And has just as elite offense. But ok. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Kent Hughes redemption arc begins

There’s nothing to redeem himself for

 

[CanadienShark]

The most exciting part is his personality. He seems like a great person. Him, Slaf, and Caufield, with Serious Suzuki? We're back baby. f***ing love this draft.

 

[Redux91]

Please sticky this lol

 

[Garbageyuk]

Lindstrom was the guy I really wanted, but that obviously wasn’t going to happen, so I really can’t be mad at this pick. I liked some of the D, but it’s obviously we badly need offense, so I’m happy.

 

[The Gr8 Dane]

Hughes saying Ivan was one of the best interviews he's ever done is nice, CHADkovsky and demiGOD is real boys

 

[VirginiaMtlExpat]

Welcome to MTL!

Looking forward to 15-20 years of this bad*ss. Hopefully he takes us to the Promised Land.

 

[CanadienShark]

Say what? Eiserman please keep dropping. I want one of my teams to nab him now. Like right now. Trade up if you need to.

 

[VirginiaMtlExpat]

f*** me sideways, we've only gone and got him!

I'm too old for those positions, but indeed there is cause to rejoice.

 

[1909]

No choice but to draft him at #5. I am very surprised that Anaheim picked Sennecke instead of Demidov. I am also very surprised Ottawa did not take Buium or Dickenson instead of Yakemchuk.

 

[Hannibal]

Jesus im excited
