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.

Ottawa wanted mean in the backend with that pick.

And Anaheim might not want to pick someone they couldn't watch live at #3rd.

 

[Rozz]

Hey guys..

WE GOT DEMIGOD!!!!


WE f***ING GOT HIM!!!!!


THAT SHIT ACTUALLY HAPPENED!!!!!


... The suffering was worth it

 

[WG]

I promise to never complain about this pick 'oh they should have drafted Tij or Buium'. They went for the home run, can't ask for anything else.

 

[Kennerback]

Love this pick. Excited for the future!

Love that he was there at 5. Love that they pulled the trigger.

Oilers fan in peace, cheers to all that cheered with the oilers. Some of you might know I’m a big fan of slafkovsky and I’m a big fan of you guys adding some elite skill in demidov

 

[Hansman]

1 more pick and Lafleurs guy might get his guy...Cole Eiserman.

won't feed the troll.


On Demidov: no matter what happens, we're glad we picked him and hope for the very best. The Russian Machine Never Breaks.

 

[TheNumber4]

Congrats Habs. Looks like a franchise level talent to be the centerpiece to build around.

And now you have a GOD to compete with Marner.

 

[BargainBinSpecial]

So is this guy the next Kovalchuk?

 

[danisonfire]

Great pick. I wanted Catton but that was with the assumption that Demidov would be gone before our pick. We picked the most skilled player available who fits an extreme need.

 

[Habsfan18]

Still can’t believe it. I’m so f***ing happy.

 

[The Great Weal]

Sorry if this has been addressed already, but is he eligible to come to Laval right away if his KHL team won't have him?

 

[Habs]

I'm in disbelief.

I can't even talk right now.

I wanna buy a Demidov shirt as soon as they are available.

You'll have to stick to your Celine jersey for now, cupcake

Well we know now there was no Russian bias with Michkov. Not that it should’ve ever been a discussion. They just didn’t like that pick last year.

They drafted two players from Russia that very draft, didn't they?

The 'bias' against Michkov was hockey-related and I've posted here that last summer, by pure chance while on holiday, I met with someone very high-up in the SKA organisation who had the exact same on-ice doubts about Michkov that we've read all around: speed, size, translatability of his game to the NHL and ability to get into the right spots to do what he does as best he does. His own organisation didn't rate his trajectory.

There was no bias in the Habs organization -- thank god -- it's just some paranoid fans who consume too much media who made noise last year and it seems a smaller handful of the same types this year.

 

[Kaiden Ghoul]

Demidov Dach ?

We need another player with a D starting is family name so we can have our boobies line

The triple D squad

Guys there's Tapioca pudding all over the front of my pantaloons!
