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

[tazsub3]

I'm really happy to see that he play good in KHL so far, really great highlights in those 2 games. That will stop bad comments "Oh, he play in a league like MHL, so easy".

He already prove that he belong to KHL and a very good one also.

Should got more than 1 point with more luck, but points will come, for sure. 35-40 pts would be perfect. More, will be a huge bonus.

But his game in general, very impressive!!

Points are welcome sure but don’t matter , learning to play a pro game and fitting at that level is the most important . And as you say so far so good

I like 111. Plenty of room for 3 slender digits. Contrarian number for an exceptional player.

Edit: it has that symmetry that Gretzky and Lemieux had.

Or let him have a decimal...

9.9

Suck on that Gretzky.

It's just like any other GDT so get used to it.
There will always be those who expect too much and maybe more than usual with Demidov.
It's your job amongst others to bring some balance into the conversation.
Most of the folks watching have decent takes IMO.

GDTs are different...those are threads dedicated to an entire team.

There is no thread dedicated to breaking down a prospect every shift in whatever league they play in. Sometimes we'll have certain posters share youtube links to the odd shift or odd game.

But dedicated threads and twitter accounts analyzing his every shift.

I don't know...on one hand it's appreciated, on the other, it's kind of insane lol.

I just know us as a fanbase, we're not used to having good things. We're building up something that will be very difficult to live up too. I'm chalking it up to a fanbase that's been longing for this type of player for ever, being super excited...i'm sure when NHL games start this kind of stuff will wear off.

The attention may taper off some once our camp starts.
I doubt very much I'll try to watch every game and like you mentioned we have dedicated members who will post videos of his shifts.
Honestly I've already seen enough to know we have something special and I'm ecstatic with his work ethic.
The rest will come naturally he's simply too talented not to find success.

Last game he played against cars, now it's trains.

One of the cars was looking to remove his head hopefully he stays off the rails of the trains.

9.9

Suck on that Gretzky.

It implies a tenth of Gretzky's value. I don't see Wayne objecting to that valuation. 111 would annoy him more, given the implications: roughly 12% better than the Great One.

 

[cphabs]

If he had Michkovs usage and freedom I think he could score at a point per game

You kind of remind me of Cobra Commander... One of my favorite posters who has left.

The Forum Ghosts got tired of paying to park with the plebs under Bergevin, and are now back. It's that simple.

Seeing your profile pic just makes me think someone like Tony Marinaro needs to get Billy Ryan on the show. Would love to listen to that guy talk.

Yellow is 4th line.

Which is still bad.

We might see him sooner rather than later.

 

[HomaridII]

Just bring him over, its all about money, the Flyers prooved that. Just pay whatever it is Molson.

Edit: ANd yes I know this isn't technically legal, who cares, what do you think the Flyers did.

I can't imagine anyone I've seen who will be able to make that third line better.
The problem with the line to begins with was Kuznetsov's lack of desire and Rendulic's lack of hockey IQ.
I'm assuming he'll get fewer minutes but he may actually do better as the go to on that 4th line.

Hard to do that with 6 minutes tho

They should have kept my thread about injury polls up!! Someone could have hit the jackpot!

I'm as big Demidov's fan as anybody and not since the last draft but since the kid was 15. But let's be honest, he had chances to score. And not one or even two.

Look at Michkov, he played for SKA one game last season and exactly 6 min. Of course he didn't score. But as soon as they loaned him to Sochi he started to score. He was 4+5 after 8 games. If Demidov scored at least one goal on those chances he had I doubd even Rotenberg would have dared to bench him.

Yeah he did and Randulic had 0 chances to score and is still getting loads of ice time. Demidov is getting chances and creating. That means things will fall.

Rotenberg was gonna bench him regardless. He wasn't warranted being benched in that 3rd.
