Alright I didn’t want to say it but all the speculation gives me no choice :

I’m RR’s cousin and yesterday he fell asleep crying while drunk on my couch because the gazprom brask told him that they already have a deal with MTL and CAR to release them of their contract obligation. They are working with the marketing teams to make it official but also to make it seems like they are doing a favor for the players to appear as favorable as possible to the hockey world. Growing hockey relations and growth of the sport. Should be official today or tomorrow.

Putting my insider reputation on the line with that 50/50
Which E is it? I will only believe this if it's E3 or E4. Anything below is fake.
 
He is free to move as of May 31st, what is all this panic for??
It's my (future franchise) player, and I need it now.

I hope Rottengerg finds it in his heart to release Demidov earlier. It would be huge for Demidov's development to play nhl playoff games. It would also make the habs a tough team to beat since now we would have a good 2nd line on top of already having a good 1st line and bottom 6.
I find it funny that he keeps repeating that young players don’t develop well in the NHL because as soon as they make a mistake they are sent to the AHL. Yeah as opposed to your brilliant coaching where you have him sit on the bench without a shift the entire game even though he’s your leading scorer.

He’s just a terrible person.
 
I wouldn't read too much into it. Demidov played in Saint Petersburg yesterday and SKA 1946 is playing in Moscow today with a comfortable 2-0 series lead. They could just be planning on having Demidov join the team when they go back to Saint Petersburg after winning the series.

Yup. I'm not having any expectations regarding Demidov being released to come ASAP.

My opinion is they keep him until May 31.

His agent said that taks with SKA and Demidov have been chaotic. My guess is SKA are being difficult.
 

I think this was the guy who broke Michkov's contract being broken.

Arthur Khairullin and Sports Express broke the story in early May, and I don't think most other outlets started reporting more until June and then again through the summer.

I found the full article on Demidov and had Chat-gpt translate it:

"Montreal" expects Demidov in the NHL already this season


According to Sport-Express, SKA forward Ivan Demidov is expected to join the Montreal Canadiens by the end of the current NHL regular season. The forward is guaranteed a spot in the top six.


However, there have not yet been any negotiations between the NHL club and SKA regarding the player’s move overseas. Demidov's contract with the Army team runs until May 31, 2025.


This season, the 19-year-old forward recorded 49 points (19 goals, 30 assists) in 65 KHL regular season games and 5 points (3 goals, 2 assists) in 6 playoff games.


He was selected by Montreal in the first round, 5th overall, in the 2024 NHL Draft.
