Having a first pp wave of Slaf Suzuki Demidov Caufield and Hutson will be unreal. Most talented team we will have in decades.
Who very likely will be a Hab by March / April 2025Will still need Fowler to take care of the crease.

I don't think any scouts expected Demidov to go from what he showed in the MHL to being near PPG in the KHL without PP time and low TOI and adjusting super fast to the pro-game.Just saw a couple highlights from today but holy f***ing hell. I haven’t seen Levshunov but this guy must’ve tanked his interviews. I don’t think the other 3 teams could’ve craved positional need THAT much.
That quick?Who very likely will be a Hab by March / April 2025
He’s exceeding expectations but it’s not that big a shock really. The goods were there. f***ing Sennecke surely didn’t show this kind of upside lolI don't think any scouts expected Demidov to go from what he showed in the MHL to being near PPG in the KHL without PP time and low TOI and adjusting super fast to the pro-game.
Also, he seems to have really wanted to be a Habs.
No chance, if this happens they ruin his careerWho very likely will be a Hab by March / April 2025

I’d be shocked if Fowler doesn’t sign his pro contract by end of this season, he’s having another good year at BCNo chance, if this happens they ruin his career
I think it's mostly just lack of live viewing in Russia and NHL scouts don't like picking high players they can't live watch.He’s exceeding expectations but it’s not that big a shock really. The goods were there. f***ing Sennecke surely didn’t show this kind of upside lol
No that’s cool. All of them are highly talented and that includes Suzuki.If I had to trade one away TODAY it would be CC without a doubt and zero hesitation. And I love CC. I went hog wild bullish on here with him during our Cup run. Probably too much lol but we’ll see. I don’t think he’s done improving his game. Really interesting to see where he caps out.
STILL he’d be gone tomorrow lol. Do yourself a favour and go watch some more Demidov highlights. He’s f***ed lol. Potential Art Ross guy.
I’m way too confident in Slaf. The size is too important and you just can’t put a cap on his upside.
Definitely not belittling your opinion just wanted to weigh in.
End of the day I think people are underestimating Slaf and CC’s upside. Demidov is getting the right amount of hype because everyone who’s seen him enough can see immediately he has top 5-10 scorer potential.
It’s amazing to have all 3 plus several others who can put up high end offense.
I’d be shocked if Fowler doesn’t sign his pro contract by end of this season, he’s having another good year at BC
With the rep he’s now established, he’ll get a game in nets to burn the 1st year off that ELC

I don’t think Columbus and Anaheim were necessarily going BPA. They’re not markets where they’ll be pilloried because they make a mistake. A North American can easily connect to fans… I think ironically Chicago are in the toughest spot. They’re a relatively big market in comparison. Many fans follow the draft and wanted Demidov. That one might sting.He’s exceeding expectations but it’s not that big a shock really. The goods were there. f***ing Sennecke surely didn’t show this kind of upside lol
Ring size is no problem, a few KHL rinks are NHL size , like SKA is one.
You see him playing on Slaf line next season?7-game point streak. He has 11 pts (2G, 9A) in those 7 games. Now on pace for 59 pts (19G, 40A) in 68 GP.
He moved his way up to being 2nd in scoring on the team, behind only Gritsyuk, who is also young at 23, but playing in his 4th KHL season.
If Rotenberg wasn't being dumb and playing Demidov under 4-5 minutes or benching him for a handful of games, he'd most likely be top scorer.
