Well we don’t really know that yet. Certainly top two in this draft.Demidov is definitely not a generational prospect
He wasn't even the best prospect of his draft class

He’s was picked at 5 but ranked 2nd. I never said he was a generational league wide player.He went 5th overall. Using the word generational with Demidov makes 0 sense whatsoever. If Demidov is to be considered generational or potential generational, then all of Bedard, Michkov, Stutzle, Jack Hughes, Smith, etc. are as well...
you are missing a few Habs in that list...like 5 or 6 and they were all better than LindrosGenerational players:
Howe
Orr
Gretzky
Lemieux
Lindros
Crosby
Mcdavid
Lindros career was not Generational because of his concussions at early age but Lindros between 16 and 24 years old was a generational talent and physique
I would not put Ovy as generational...he is a generational scorer but unlike the list above..all those players made players around them better as well.
Slight . . . but not impossible.is there any chance he’s with the Habs this year, am seeing some speculation on twitter but seems like clickbait
I don't think you can say "certainly". He played in the MHL.Well we don’t really know that yet. Certainly top two in this draft.

As far as the Habs are concerned, he has the potential to be the best player in multiple generations.
Man, if he’s on the club this year I’m watching all 82 lolSlight . . . but not impossible.
Mtl never had a generational player..never.you are missing a few Habs in that list...like 5 or 6 and they were all better than Lindros
Mtl never had a generational player..never.
Lafleur was an elite player but not generational. Lafleur was an average player past 29 years old.
Look the stats of Lemieux and Wayne past their prime...Lafleur in not on that level at all..
Look at Crosby..what he does at 36.
You are righe about Lindros.. Lindros was a generational prospect and he had an awesome start of his career but not long enough.
I think you could argue Rocket Richard was generational. Guy is a tougher call, while Lafleur's peak plateaued at a relatively younger age, there was a six year period where he was undoubtebly the best player in hockey.
Also Patrick Roy literally revolutionised the way goaltenders played after his arrival. Does this make him generational? Tough to say, I doubt it, but he made a huge impact on the sport.
Lindros in that list is hilariousGenerational players:
Howe
Orr
Gretzky
Lemieux
Lindros
Crosby

What about David Desharnais? Well, he is considered one according to Michel TherrienMtl never had a generational player..never.

Morenz...Richard....Belliveau...Harvey...Durnan...Lafleur...Roy...etc. Stanley Cups also count for something. When you find the perfect generationalometer you can come back and peddle your theory.Mtl never had a generational player..never.

"HUGO?" Does any other fan base constantly come up with stuff like this? The GM is Kent Hughes.That’s an ALL TIME PICK
HAIL HUGO FFS
It's a two headed monster and Gorton has a presence and I'm sure a lot of the moves are discussed in length between the two. Hugo is an easy way to say Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton. Other fan basses aren't quite as advanced in abbreviations/nick names as us so maybe not"HUGO?" Does any other fan base constantly come up with stuff like this? The GM is Kent Hughes.

The fact something so insignificant can bother you so much only makes me want to say it more lol"HUGO?" Does any other fan base constantly come up with stuff like this? The GM is Kent Hughes.
Wings generally are given a bit more rope to take chances, so I’m happy to add him as a wing as I think it fits his playstyle and do like our center depth better as well.Anybody thinking about Demidov at center? He has said that he likes playing center so not sure about how that plays out. Lets say he does play center. What does your forward roster look like now?
Slaf / Demidov / Caufield
Newhook / Suzuki / Dach
Roy / Hage / Beck
Xhekaj / Kapanen / Mesar
