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

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

It's better than being -14. I brought it up as info to fellow readers, not to be necessarily dissected like this. Who gives a shit about Galchenyuk these days or what he accomplished early on? I sure as hell don't.

It would be a disaster at -14, because only very bad players would get stats like those while being played in isolation.

+/- is an extremely contextual stat.

Don't need to act so insecure, I'm not putting down Demidov, I'm a huge fan of his, but he is being played in isolation. Rotenberg often uses the 3rd line as exploitation, which is fine for a rookie and he's been more than up to the task.

Insecure sir I am not. I just didn't expect a simple promising stat on Demidov to be dissected like this.
All I was saying was that he is +14 which is a good thing.

Rotenberg is transforming our boy into a legitimate monster, and you ungrateful bastards can't see it.

Therrien also shaped Crosby and Malkin into the players they are now, these masterminds are too
sophisticated for us to understand.

Don’t remember the last time we had that caliber of prospect in the pipeline. Caufield maybe?

Demidov is a clear tier above Caufield as a prospect.

He’s in superstar potential group. Caufield is able to have great moments and be the best player in a game from time to time, Demidov will have the ability to dictate the entire pace of the game.

Patrick Kane / Nik Kucherov stuff.

we need a player like him badly!

Ok so generational?

 

[CristianoRonaldo]

We barely finished one point under Arizona. It has very close. Is kinda crazy, we out tanked Arizona 3 times! Make it fourth?

Yeah, but Utah's GM only wanted Iginla, we would have been safe...

Ok so generational?

Less than Mesar, but still generational.

Unless you’re 55+ not in your lifetime. And probably only the 63+ remember.

I can only dream of what a Mesar, Slaf and Demidov trio would look like.

 

[River Meadow]

Ok so generational?

GENERATIONAL.

he's the best prospect they have drafted in over 20 years in terms of skill. In terms of impact, we'll have to see as his game is still about projection until he mature more physically.

Does Carey Price or Subban count? We had not seen many ppg forward with the Habs in the last 30 years+....

Probably the best prospect since Carey Price.

Not luck, competent...finally. Kent Hughes, merci

No way they could forecast that Hutson would be available at #62 and Fowler in the 3rd round when 5 other goalies were selected ahead of him. Same with Hage who should had been top-15. Even Demidov should had been top three, no later. Yes, they were lucky. Bruins used to be lucky too with Bergeron, Marchand and Pastrnak. TB too with Kucherov and Point…
