Not a habs fan, but can't wait to see this guy on the ice with Suzuki, caufield/laine and Hutson. Gonna be a fun squad to watch for a long time

I have to try to watch move games with young Demidov

 

[The Last Red]

We'll see. We're used to Trubisky over Mahomes anyway but time will tell.

Impossible to top that one.

100%. They will have a lot of unique talents between the group listed above and Slafkovsky. If they grab a true shutdown guy this summer, I think they will really be in business

Ok where is this, specifically Michkov saying it

Alright so you're saying you can't?

Not to derail the thread, but for the sake of clarity, Michkov's Russian agent said it a few days after the draft.
He said Michkov's favorite destination was Philadelphia and his NHL agent held special negotiations with them.
He said Michkov had no desire to go to Arizona. Washington too. (He later clarified Arizona is the only destination he would refuse to play).
The agent even said Michkov held a video conference with Anaheim, and the Ducks were very close to picking him.
It begins around 46.45



Okay, now back to Demidov.

Okay, now back to Demidov.

Thank you . This was already stated in the Michkov thread several times . Didn’t see the point in shifting away for the millionth time from Demi who is an awesome prospect in his own right . .
