In the beginning of the season, I would very happy with only 30-35 points for him.

But if he continue to play like that, he is going to put more than that. Soo that would be a very fantastic news.

Just gonna copy/paste for those who don't have twitter (sometimes the website is glitchy on mobile).

Marc Denis (RDS): “In the case of Ivan Demidov, are you just letting Roman Rotenberg take care of his development, is there constant communication with SKA, do you know what’s going to happen in the next year because sometimes it’s a bit complicated with young Russian players.”

Kent Hughes: “I can’t tell you if we know at what point (we’ll see him) since he belongs to another team & he’s under contract with them…We’re following (Ivan Demidov) closely & Nick Bobrov is in communication with them…we have to respect that he’s their (SKA) player & (the KHL) is a professional league where they play to win. But we’re following him & there’s a possibility we’ll be going to see him (in Russia ).”

The last bolded part is interesting...

He'll come over next year, our coach's character is a magnet for young players. After all, he would'nt be the first to cross the Atlantic on the Spirit of St._Louis!

SKA playing 4D chess trying to punk Montreal by surrounding Demidov with bad influences. First they sign Kuznetsov, now DeAngelo. Who is next, Kassian? Formenton? Nichushkin?

Iron sharpens iron, steel sharpens steel. Demidov is gonna come out of that maelstrom a better leader and person. Even Therrien will approve!!

Under 14 minutes in TOI average… reminds me of Tyler Seguin’s first season under Claude Julien in Boston. A coach just not using his best weapon in the name of learning the game from the bench and becoming a “better player”.

That's what Slafkovsky averaged up until mid November of last year

My guess is Demidov’s TOI so far is even less than what he got in the two game this week. I’m sure someone has that somewhere.

Drew a penalty (would have scored)
Real nice moves on a 1 on 3 but guy went to the net instead of taking the space left back by defenders, so errant pass.
Real nice entry on the PP to get it set up on a high pressured zone entry.

Other than that, not a lot of puck touches for the line, a lot of terrible plays by Kuznetsov and for some reason using him in the bumper on the PP.

He drawned what, 50 penaltys already lol? Insane

Yeah he draws at least one a game lol. He's special, he's getting limited minutes and pretty much always has 2-3 notable things in 4/5 shifts in a period.
