I’m now all aboard the Demidov train for the CBJ at 4 if he’s available. Is it a luxury pick a bit? Yes. But with the strength of our pool I think taking a big swing would be a good thing. As enticing as a big center group around Fantilli and Lindstrom sounds, Demidov is a better talent and a safer pick from a medical standpoint. Take the BPA if there, Waddell.

Can’t see CBJ risking another filatov

He's closer to Celebrini then to the other Draftee's if he goes later then 2nd and teams pass on him they are the definition of stupid.

Can’t see CBJ risking another filatov

There is bigger chance Celebrini becomes another Galchenyuk than Demidov becomes another Filatov... But if Columbus doesn't want Demidov, it's their problem not Ivan's. And I'm 95% sure Columbus won't have a chance to pick Demidov anyway...

That was 16 years ago. The CBJ are not shy at all on Russians. I don’t think they take him but it’s not because of Filatov or any concerns in that way.

I can't believe it's already been 16 years.

Proof? They're not risking it with such a high pick.

 

[Dirtyf1ghter]

Thanks to Chicago, Anaheim (WTF ?!?) and Columbus.

 

[BKarchitect]

Good job not over-thinking things this year by Montreal…Habs fans should be very excited.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Proof? They're not risking it with such a high pick.

Proof of what? That they wouldn’t pick him? Go look at the CBJ roster and pool and count the Russians. They picked Lindstrom because they liked him more. Not because demidov is Russian. A bigger risk too with Lindstrom.

If this dude falls to 5th I'm gonna pinch my nipples so hard

Nipples were pinched

Never thought he'd actually fall down to 5. Wow. What a pick.

Another Pronman epic fail

 

[Marc the Habs Fan]

Another Pronman epic fail

The odd thing is the entire time - even going back his first mock last summer - he mocked Demidov to MTL. Then he changes at the last moment this morning. Scared us Habs fans considering his recent track record of getting our picks right but glad he was wrong!
