No, the thing you're most looking forward to is him taking the puck in his zone and going to score all by himself. It's so friggin refreshing to have someone that can do it on a regular basis. The PP stuff is fine and all, I think we were pretty much blessed with one of the best PP player of our time in Markov, I doubt Demidov separates himself a lot from him. Insane the rift between the offensive ability of Demidov and everyone else at ES. It's basically him and then either Matheson or Subban for "gamebreaker" at 5V5.Funnily enough, I think he would have been my target at 5 this draft if management picked Michkov last year and DR was a 2024 draftee. Reinbacher is definitely a really good fit with the makeup of the U25 roster.
Back to Demidov though, I think the thing Im most looking forward to is the PP magic with guys like Hutson, Suzuki, Slaf and Caufield. Can you imagine the cross ice passes to Caufield for a one time goal ? Or Hutson and Demidov both dangling the shit out of the opposition back to back ?
For us Habs fans who've had to suffer through Plekanec' shots to the chest and Pacioretty's complete inability to dangle (those were our two best offensive players), this isn't something we're used to. I can just imagine how wild the Bell Centre will be.
Now, of course I know this isn't exactlty how hockey should be looked at, but thats the mark of a true superstar IMO. Being able to score pretty much at will.
