You photoshopping your fantasies, or was Lane there tonight?
He's there to support his brother, Cole, who's expected to be drafted in 2nd round. Might as well meet the new guy.

still feels a bit surreal.Scott Wheeler:
I can’t think of a better outcome for the Habs. We know where their young group of defensemen is at. Now, they’ve added two of the best forwards in the draft, one of whom is an elite skill guy and one of whom is a center with length, skating (Hage is one of the best skaters in the draft), skill (he gets high grades in this class here, too) and a profile that I love.
I believe that Demidov is the second-best prospect in the draft and is a home run for the Habs. A true game-breaker is the one thing it felt like their core was missing — the kind of player who can challenge for 90 to 100 points if things break right. There’s no guarantee that he will become that, but I see that kind of upside and he feels like a 70-to-80-point player at his floor. I think he’s going to make magic happen in the NHL and thrill one of the most passionate fan bases in professional sports. It’ll be great for the league.
And Hage might be my favorite prospect in the draft. I think he’s got a legitimate path to a long career as a top-six player. I comped him to Jordan Kyrou and I think that’s within reach.
This is a big day in the Habs’ rebuild and they had the best Day 1 of the bunch. One to remember.
I was just reading the Hawks page, and holy smokes it's verbatim habs page '23

Now bruins fans are jealous
Wouldnt Boivert be part of this group?Bruins definitely wanted a center. They probably had 1. Hage 2. Beaudoin 3. Letourneau.
First Montreal then Utah jumped them to get Hage & Beaudoin. Bruins could only watch because they have no draft assets.
I'm one of them. Didn't think three teams would pass up on Demidov. There was no fn way. Tij was a lot more realistic. Thought the Habs got lucky tonight.Anybody hate this pick? Just curious.
Where are the ones that guaranteed us Demidov would not be available at 5?
And oh yeah, how about the ones that were to run naked if Demidov is the pick…did you follow through?

Do you also like the Hage pick (especially trading up for him)?Welcome to Montreal Ivan!
Dwmidov really was the pick for us at 5. You just gotta take a swing with that talent when you get the chance. I'm really excited about him. We finally have a prospect with elite offensive upside.
PP1: Suzuki - Slaf - Demidov - Caufield - Hutson
No reason why this can't become one of the best pp units in the league

Do you think that Demidov will come to the Development camp in early July ?
You have a missed call and they left a voicemail.View attachment 889162
