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

[Zine]

It's a thread aboud Demidov, you're surprised we talk about him and his usage?

I'm talking about fans and media of SKA, per the post I responded to.

Oh I see, my bad.

What I can't wrap my head around is what is the point of it? Over the previous 2 years SKA lead the KHL in wins by a good amount (80), this year they are in a 4 way tie for 8th OA in wins. Demidov not even being used on the PP when he clearly can help this team is just insane, why would you do that and risk losing more games.

I guess I don't get what message they are trying to send to the rest of prospects in their system while at the same time to their fans. We aren't winning as much but at least Demidov is pissed he's not getting ice time, we sure are showing him!

Rotenberg has no logic, I highly doubt he's able to send any message at all.

Because of it i really doubt it's all about resigning. What is the point if Michkov was signed for a multi-year deal, but walked out of it with no problem?
These things happening in SKA not only with high end NHL prospects.

I guess the message for all of the prospects out there is not to sign with SKA, while Rottenburger is around

He is a 100% superstar. He just don't play at this moment. But he have everything to put 100 points ++ per season at NHL level.

Yeah, I'm not even sure it's because of the contract. It's because SKA have a Rotenberg as a coach.
He didn't play Michkov, despite him being signed for a lot of next years, for example.

The way he juggle goalies season after season is even more embarassing.

If you are not familiar with Rotenberg at all... He is son of Jewish billionaire and he never played hockey at pro level.

Man is playing Hockey Manager irl. LOL

Pity Demidov plays under Rotenberg, could be interesting to compare his season to Michkov's. When he was given enough trust and time he looked on par with Matvei, it didn't last long though. He should have moved to Sochi before the season started...

Nothing against jews, he never played hockey at pro level at all and he is a son of a billionaire.

He is equivalent of hockey's Ted Lasso

Benching Demidov is the problem.

Well,

If they bench him, he won't get injured before he comes here.

(Knock on wood)
