There is 3 . Consult the Michkov and versus thread for more material if needed .That Demidov fella is pretty good and an interesting player.
Wonder if there’s a thread for him.

Not participating in those.There is 3 . Consult the Michkov and versus thread for more material if needed .
Why do you live in this thread when you never, ever contribute to discussion about Demidov?There is 3 . Consult the Michkov and versus thread for more material if needed .
That’s not true . I’ve been complimentary in several postsWhy do you live in this thread when you never, ever contribute to discussion about Demidov?
Many are . Good for you thoughNot participating in those.
Demidov is rookie of the month!
Lol I haven't even realized that it's a Demidov thread untill your comment, thought I just misclicked and opened a Michkov oneSo are you guys going to talk about Demidov in this thread?
Hes a Devils fan and Hughes has done great rebuilding the team so far of course its easier to sell then to buy but for now we dont have any complaints besides maybe Reinbacher over MichkovMontreal finished 28th overall, 28th overall, and 32nd overall in the last 3 seasons. They will most likely finish at the bottom of the league again this season.
I was surprised when habs fans thought Bergevin was an amazing GM. But it looks like they are brainwashed again with Hughes.
Teams reach for positional need, especially if that position is RD.So I watch every SKA game and Demidov is just a stud, and it's subtle things really, how he handles the puck, positioning, sense of the game, and for the limited time he gets from the coach he gets to generate tons of offense. Now my question is really why Blackhawks didn't take him 2d, he would of been lethal on Bedard's wing
I disagree, especially for wingers. How many contenders have not been able to go all the way though because they lacked a 2C or #2-#3 RHD? High-end Centers and RHD are the hardest positions to fill and it's almost impossible to find one unless you draft them.Team needs can be adressed at any time during the season OR the off-season.
The team's overall level of talent can rarely be increased significantly outside of the draft.
I can GUARANTEE you that if we drafted a Michkov every year, we'd have a star-studded roster in no time.
It has been referenced to in this thread. The "Maybe he'll become a top 4 D in this league" has been said multiple times already. I also remember around the same time last year we were hearing how Slafkovsky was a bust and never was to amount to anything and how we should have drafted Cooley instead.Who said he’s a bust if he doesn’t make the team in his d plus 2 season ? Seems a bit straw man ish to me .
Or center.Teams reach for positional need, especially if that position is RD.
Your claim wasn’t that posters were saying “ Maybe he’ll become a top 4 D “. It was rather “ People are saying that he’s a bust if he doesn’t make the Habs lineup in his D+2 season “ . Fairly different statements/ claims .It has been referenced to in this thread. The "Maybe he'll become a top 4 D in this league" has been said multiple times already.

Now obviously it'll be hard for Reinbacher to shut down the critiques since he's going to be out 5-6 months but the same people that were crying over the 10 games stretch where Cooley outproduced Slafkovsky are the same ones crying over picking Reinbacher instead of Michkov and are probably going to be the loudest ones pumping their chest if Reinbacher turns out to be the top pairing RHD Montreal drafted him for at 23-25.
Or center.
If you pick a guy #5 overall and people say he has a “chance” to become a top 4 D then yeah, that implies bottom pairing guy and that’s absolutely considered a bust.Your claim wasn’t that posters were saying “ Maybe he’ll become a top 4 D “. It was rather “ People are saying that he’s a bust if he doesn’t make the Habs lineup in his D+2 season “ . Fairly different statements/ claims .
This feels like where most draft mistakes get made. Teams rationalize picking for position when the BPA is a player that plays a position they don't need.Teams reach for positional need, especially if that position is RD.
Habs should do everything they can to get him over here before the end of the season to get him some exposure to the NHL before the summer.Seriously, does anyone want to talk about Demidov here? @DaveG (sorry to drag you in here)
Demidov constantly impresses this year in limited play. I'm hopeful his minutes improve, so he can dominate the KHL and possibly play some games in Montreal to end this year. Either way, I expect he'll be in Montreal's top 6 as early as next season.
Agreed. Partly because we want him around the organization and adapted to NA, partly to actually get him the playing time he deserves.Habs should do everything they can to get him over here before the end of the season to get him some exposure to the NHL before the summer.
My favourite part about what I’ve seen so far is that he’s generating chances and creating plays on his own. His success is a direct result of him working hard, competing hard, battling for pucks, getting to the dirty areas, and his involvement in the play.Seriously, does anyone want to talk about Demidov here? @DaveG (sorry to drag you in here)
