He almost did it again in the 3rd....He drew a penalty at least.

Kids on easy mode now. This is against the best team in the conference, grown men, and this 18 year old kid is making swiss f***ing cheese of their defence. Best prospect out of Russia since kucherov. This kid is unbelievable. Absolute superstar in the making.

While I disagree with it, I still don’t believe that HuGo would have taken Michkov and Demidov, especially after drafting another wing, even higher, in 2022 (Slaf). Habs were going right D one of those two years. Hopefully Orville will pan out.
Agree. We’d likely have Michkov and Buium, had things gone the other way. Even though I prefer Demidov over Michkov, I think I’d choose the combo of Michkov + Buium over Reinbacher + Demidov. Tough one. Reinbacher was just a terrible pick. At least that’s how it looks to me right now. Obviously, things could change, but I doubt it. Hated the Reinbacher pick from the start.

What could have been, top 6 that can damn near ride any ride at disneyland
Yeah but the problem is i dont think drafting Michkov has anything to do with Cooley and Nazar. So a forward core of Suzuki/Caufield/Slaf/Dach/Demidov/Michkov/Laine would be good and not tiny. Maybe in that scenario we dont draft Hage and a dmen instead tough.

Is demidov now putting up the best ppg by a u-20 player?
I’m not sure if it’s updated but 19 pts in 22 games is .86 per . I’m too lazy to check decimal point comparison but I believe that’s almost exactly what Michkov / Kap produced . If that’s not the updated total he’s past the above pace .

He would be leading the KHL in points as an 18yo rookie and having the best season for a D+1 Russian prospect in history

Imagine getting laughed at and ridiculed for even suggesting to the Michkovites that he could be on the same tier level as Matvei.

Time will tell I suppose, but there's nothing to suggest different that Demidov isn't a bonified budding potential NHL all star. It's clear to see just how good he is.

Someone even said Demidov is 2 tiers below Mitchkov. TWO
