Of all the highly-touted prospects drafted early in the first round - Galchenyuk, KK, Reinbacher - Demidov is the one about whom I am most excited, and who inspires the most confidence in his ability to become an impact player.I can't decide if I'm happy or annoyed by the pick.
Don't take this wrong, he was my favorite option, but people will start to claim outlandish things about his ceiling for a whole year before he gets here. Not that the Habs brass are helping there. No pressure kid, but Lapointe/Bobrov are pretty much expecting you to be the best player of the draft...
But expectations and demands, as with those other three players, are far too high, I think, and, no matter what he becomes, I think that there will be disappointment. It's the nature of fandom.
