Vanya is a respectful young man and I can almost guarantee he will have nothing but good things to say about his bonehead coach

Good, I hope they get eliminated as quickly as possible so he can show them the finger and come over!!

Russia's going to Russia. I'm even surprised he got as much ice time as he did after Kent went down, I would have thought they would have taken that as a slight or a threat in some way.
Just two more months, Ivan. Hold on lad.

It very well could be. They know they're losing him for nothing in a few months, so I wouldn't be shocked if they're trying to get some sort of financial gain out of it. I don't think Molson or Hughes would bite though.

They could but they won't. It seems they are going to be as petty as possible.
This has been the talk today in this thread, with other similar tweets.

Well yeah, he doesn't even have to make sense.
Remember when he was talking about benching Demidov cause bad +/- = bad player... yet Demidov was one of the +/- leaders on the team, bahaha.

There probably is but just because the likes of Friedman doesn’t know about it, doesn’t mean it’s not happening.
CKA did accept money in exchange of terminating a non-expired contract with Michkov, so chances are they would take compensation for Demidov terminating his contract much sooner than May 31st. Two different situations between Michkov and Demidov but same org that has proven that it can be bought out.
Maybe this is all part of Rotenburg’s scripted theatrics mandated by CKA’s ownership — have him act like a madman so there is a greater likelihood that the NHL team that owns his rights, gets jittery and produces a substantial amount to make the circus go away.
Please stay tuned to my next podcast, 32 Farts, where you’ll find even more unsubstantiated, speculative material.

SKA could kidnap him, could push out of a window. Hard to put an exact number on those chances.

I have that feeling Demidov is too good to be true. Like something will happen blocking his arrival.
Very possible in general and especially in light of Russians economic strains

I doubt it. They can still use him for future Olympics/national teams when Russia eventually gets let back in

I say F that coach and F that team. At least there's no risk for injury and all that will be behind him next year.
In the 30 min interview Hughes just did they asked him towards the end What is next for the Montreal canadiens, the first thing he said is " We know we have Demidov coming". He talked about how priority is to integrate him into a new team, new way of life.

Nah. It's pride and greed.
Edit : willing to toy with and intimidate a 19 yo because of a f***ing sport is downright evil.
