Prospect Info: Ivan Demidov (2024 5th OA): SKA St. Petersburg (KHL): Part III - IN SASHA ORLOV WE TRUST

[LesCactus]

Why couldn’t Demidov come to the NHL?

 

[Justin11]

I guess I will continue my Russian lessons while watching Demi play in the VHL.
It was fun while it lasted, felt like trade deadline day lol.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Don't blame SKA. They own his rights and they have a team in their equivalence of the AHL, that they want to succeed. I probably would do the same thing and have Demidov bring them a championship.

Are Gritsyuk and Nikishin being sent down? And who gives a shat. They didn't give a damn about the KHL championship or he would have played 30 minutes a game.

They can't be sent down, not eligible.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

I did my best guys, sorry

Not eligible to be sent down.

Forgiven. It was fun lol.
He will be in MTL soon anyway.

Why couldn’t Demidov come to the NHL?

Buyout price was probably ridiculous

 

[Leto]

Why couldn’t Demidov come to the NHL?

His contract with SKA is valid for the MHL, VHL and KHL. His contract expires the 31th of May. So unless SKA lets him go before the end of the contract, he won't be able to sign his ELC before June 1st.​

Demidov is SKA property. They have no allegiance to the Habs. If Demidov is unhappy, he never should have signed with them.

[Ozmodiar]

Well then, it's just as worse as a source

Why?

Looks like he’s right.

[Goalfield22]

Are you guys not able to wait 2 months? He's ours soon, be patient.

Buddy, the Habs are fighting for a playoff spot, and we desperately need some more skill on the team. Do you not understand that adding him would help the team right now?

This is bigger than Demidov now - losing me would be a much bigger blow to the fan base

 

[Zine]

Gritsyk and Nikishin can be sent to SKA-NEVA in the VHL also, which has no age limitations.

So if Gritsyuk will be allowed to leave early to sign his ELC, and there were reports that there was an agreement to allow Nikishin to leave early to sign with Canes, but Demidov is apparently being kept, what is the difference? Gritsyk and Nikishin extended to stay in Russia for a few more years.

The difference is contracts. Young players like Demidov, Zavragin, Kol, etc. are on 2-way.

Not really

We could do some real damage with him in the lineup potentially. Don’t know why there’s any controversy on that front

 

[CrazyBob]

I could be wrong but being sent down their farm team does not mean they cant release him too at a later point in time.
