F Ivan Demidov - SKA St. Petersburg, KHL (2024, 5th, MTL)

[Bottomshelf]

If I’m trailing in a game I want Michkov. If I’m leading I want Demidov. Tied? Dealers choice, Michkov if you want a higher chance to score. Demidov if you want a more protective approach

We could pf had both...then we can trail and lead at the same time.

Yes, the thought of both is too brain wrecking...

Joking aside, has anybody consideted that both guys on the same team could lead into conflict? It's not the first time cliques have formed around players.

I'm not saying it will, but it can happen.

Demidov is not smarter than Michkov

we can ask them to take a test to see who wins then.

Or we can just watch them both play.

a lot of misconceptions going on in both this and the Michkov thread. In no way is Demidov a smarter player than Michkov same way Michkov does have the dangling skill of Demidov.

This relies on the notion that the Habs passed on Michkov knowing they'd get Demidov. They didn't.
They passed on Michkov for reasons that we will most likely never know, but it wasn't because of Demidov.

Even to suggest that the Habs passed on Michkov because they knew they were getting Demidov is up there with Santa and Easter Bunny.

ONLY way that was possible was to lose enough games to pick second. No way that was going to happen because they would have to deliberatly lose games and it would show.

The BPA at 5th was Michkov by a mile and Hughes went on need. Stupid move and first mistake.

Hopefully, his last major mistake.

If it was Bergevin we probably would of whiffed on both to draft tall centers who "need some time to develop" instead, so at least the glass is half full with Demigod in the pipeline.

No front office is gonna bat for .1000 at the draft.

feel free, I have every game Demidov has played this year, plus around 30 of last year games. I have several Michkov vids from his time in the VHL and MHL going back to when he was 15,

Habs made a huge mistake drafting this no good rebel player.

He should be benched for the rest of the season for scoring and making his brilliant coach look like a door knob.

Imagine if he carries this insubordination to the NHL. He will do horrible things like put on a penalty kill and instead, goes on the offense and scores.

Terrible draft choice...

Funny you mention this the same day the report comes out saying that SKA offered Demidov an extension and the benching was punishment for not signing it.
