I stopped watching the games early in the season when Demidov created a 5v3 with his stellar lateral movement on PP1 and was then the only player removed from it when the whistle blew.

I was DONE.

It looks like he’ll need to sign to get PP time.

 

[Rapala]

It looks like he’ll need to sign to get PP time.

It's the one thing I'm confident he won't do.

 

[crosbyshow]

he needs to work on his first step quickness, add strength and some mass.

Like all the 18 years old players.

We said the same thing about.....Crosby at 18 that... he needed to put some mass..

When you have all the elite qualities that I mentioned you don't need to put more weight....look at Hutson.

Demidov is perfectly fine right now and don't need to add a single pound

I disagree. He's a player that will put his body on the line to make a play. If he's going to have a long career, he needs to be able to withstand repeated heavy contact. He needs more mass than a guy like Hutson, whose game revolves around avoiding contact as much as possible.

It's more about the right mass.. the kids sometimes get carried away with building this mass in their upperbody when they need to strengthen their core and lower body.

Tony DeAngelo: Ivan Demidov should never have slipped to 5th place

well that settles things

I certainly didn't think he'd be there, was a fantastic night with Celine making the pick!

Tony DeAngelo: Ivan Demidov should never have slipped to 5th place

We needed Tony D to make sense of all this

Thought I'd pass this along in case you haven't seen it since it was more about the Canes prospects. When asked, Nikishin said he isn't the best European prospect, his teammate is (referring to Demidov).

Kuznetsov, DeAngelo, Nikishin, Mishkov, etc. The only one who has anything negative to say about Demidov is Rotenberg.

RR has had plenty of praise for Demidov too.

Words are empty..............actions are what count. The coach seems to be a real bum.

So, more games of little to no ice time.?

Crap with so many players do they even have a seat for him on the bus.

 

[HomaridII]

So many amazing quotes in this article from team mates of Demidov, but I'll leave this one here:

"Truth is, we haven’t had players like him in our league for a long time" - Andronov

 

[Galaxydoggystyle]

he needs to work on his first step quickness, add strength and some mass.

You can say that about almost every prospect.....

 

[HabsCode]

Dude had 1 assist in his last 10 games? Ishh

 

[Jurivan Demidovsky]

Dude had 1 assist in his last 10 games? Ishh

Also has about 1 minute playing time.

If there was ever a prospect of ours that I didn’t care about their lack of production, it’s this guy. Pretty much the same with Hutson in his sophomore year. Could care less about his point totals.

He’s beyond skilled and he’s being dicked around by a f***ing lunatic. The point totals don’t matter. Had he played the minutes he was owed he’d probably break records. He’s a 100+ point player all day

 

[Kennerback]

My belief right now is that SKA will make sure he doesn’t leave with any KHL record of any kind. SKA can cook his stats the way they want.
