Prospect Info: Ivan Demidov (2024 5th OA): SKA St. Petersburg (KHL): Part III

Who cares about that dumb coach. As Habs fans we should want more opportunities for Demidov to play competitive hockey before he gets here.
I’d rather Demigod play competitive hockey for Habs as early as next Tuesday vs Dead Things in Centre Bell
 
We’ll see. I’ve seen mixed things about his likely NHL ceiling.
No idea how he'll fail. Skates well. Great IQ. Defensively inpenetrable. Offensively....that could be the sole issue, yet, he runs powerplays well. A hard shot. I'd love to hear why people think he won't be able to bring it.

I don’t think he’ll fail but no everyone thinks he’ll be a top pairing guy. Second pairing for where he was drafted in fine.

Dude, he's not getting out of that contract. Stop dreaming and be glad we even have this player, who will probably dominate in the NHL for a decade or more.

“As Habs fans”? As far as I’m concerned, your opinions are suspect.
Coming from someone who is actively cheering for Demidov's team to lose because you are upset about the coach not doing what you want... Yea. Let's just say, I'm not the one blinded by my feelings. I care more about Ivan getting experience in playoffs games than about my little grudge against Rottenberg.

His weakness is apparently avg transition & lack of offensive games

I see a lot of Jakob Slavin (strong stick) w more truculence in his game though…

He has a booming shot and precise as well. Runs powerplays. Great passing IQ. Frankly...I don't see it but hey...strange things have happened. Shorter ice have done some special things to players.
