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

[Castle8130]

I’m open minded. Basically he’s saying that a reasonable expectation for Demidov is someone like Josh Bailey, Martin Necas or Tyler Johnson? Maybe a poor man’s Robert Thomas? It’s on the lower side of appraisals. I just want to know what he bases himself on.

Whoever is betting against this kid is a sucker at gambling. Demidov might be the most valuable drafted prospect outside the NHL. I think we will see him in a Canadiens Jersey the last 5 games of the season

I think KHL will only be in the 1st round of their playoffs when the Habs approach their last 5 games. It's very unlikely he plays NHL at all this season

That must be the most attended indoor hockey game in the world this year

Biggest hockey arena in terms of attendance in the world so probably , that said , there is the winter classics and stuff which holds more I think

Maybe you're not counting it, but the Winter Classic at Wrigley Dec 31st will have 17k more.

But young Demidov will be in Montreal for 2025-26 as he will buy his way out or does he walk cause his contract is up

That looks like Lecavalier?

Lecavalier and Hughes were at the game today to watch Demidov

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Not even remotely close; he'll put up seventy on a good year, or eighty if trends in scoring continue their upwards trajectory, but that won't be nearly as impressive as it would have been just five years ago. A perfectly-fine first line player, and probably the best on the Habs, but nothing close to being a star.

It's baffling the degree to which Demidov is overrated.

One of the worst takes I’ve read on this website so far, good job

His current contract expires end of May 2025 if I recall correctly

Lecavalier works for the Habs?

Demidov is going to be a Star in the NHL

I think so too , seems like quite the play driver as well
