you are right. i really wanted to flyers draft him. what i meant was that he's gonna need more time in khl/ahl to develop. hes playing style will need to adjust with playing against men. bigger and stronger players wont let him do those ballerina moves he was doing in juniors. BUT hes gonna be excelent player..and isnt 70-80 point player pretty good in nhl??!

Yes 70-80 points is very good
I predict 65-75 for michkov, flyer fans should be very pleased with that
For this season? Yeah, I bet Flyers fans will be happy with this.

Demidov clearly has a ppg NHL upside. When he arrives he will have far more goodies and dynamic toys to play with in Montreal than Michkov has in Philly. That said, yes, I feel Michkov will be a better NHL scorer. In fact, I think Michkov will end up one of the best goal-scoring players of his generation and will flirt with 100+ multiple times. I see Demidov as a superstar himself, but he is more in the 85-95 point range in his prime. Put me in the camp who was hoping the Flyers traded up for Demidov so we could have been treated to this era's Bure-Mogilny combo.

Depends how that player is getting his points.
23 mins ice time, plays in all 1st pp waves, is on the ice for all EN situations, offensive starts only and at the end of the day if his +/- is like -45 that means the strategy is not working... he aint that guy
Yeah the point comment was just giving the “nothing wrong with 70 points” flyers/michkov fan a taste of his own medicine

He might get 60 plus as a rookie if Torts doesn’t restrict him .
Sounds like typical star deployment ( other than only offensive starts ) ….Philly isn’t a good team , his plus minus could very well reflect this .

It wasn’t flyers fans saying that 70 points would be a disappointing outcome for Demidov ; it was Hab fans saying names like Jagr , Kucherov and Mcdavid as comparisons …and Pooh pooing 70 to 80 pt players .
Exactly
Flyers and habs fans should be thrilled with 70 points
Seems like some people are posting in the wrong prospect thread about this prospect. I get it, Both guy's names end with "ov".
Figured this bump would be helpful.

He's gonna captain Team Russia U23 at the preaseason tournament vs KHL teams.
The roster is in Russian only. There's very few legit KHLers on the team, but overall it's not that bad. Especially for a preseason tournament.
It's been a long time since I have been this excited for a particular Habs prospect. I was ecstatic with the pick when it was made, but the more I see of Ivan as a human, I get even more eager to see him in Montreal.
He's got a certain energy and really appears to love the game and everything around it. Heart on his sleeve-type I think. He's going to be a blast to cheer for, and I'm betting on him being a player that thrive in the media and fan circus in Montreal.

He's already scored a goal with a crazy shot, they had to review it to see the goal.

He's under contract for next season in the KHL, so maybe over when his season is done. Or there's a slight chance he doesn't make SKA's roster and buys out his remaining year. So this season or next.
Yeah, I hope he doesn't make the roster (or rather Rotenberg doesn't make him making the roster) and demands the trade, and SKA will release him on the same terms as Michkov.
