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

[Wats]

The deke and goal is great but some reason it's how he balances on his right skate edge, lifting his left leg to get around D without slowing down is what amazes me.

 

[le_sean]

I keep thinking he’s going to get denied entry or something stupid because since when are we allowed to have a talent of this magnitude? Look at our 25 year teams, just putrid.

 

[Habsfan18]

This kid is unf***ingbelievable.

 

[Rapala]

Didn’t like the Bobby Clarke slash on his knee at the end there.

The Lad did a great job using that leg to protect the puck so the slash caught more shin or side of the calf than knee.

 

[ahmedou]

6 pts away from Kirill's U20 record now

If SKA played him real minutes since the beginning of the season he'd have broken the U20 record points of the KHL... Since a long time ago...

But hey it's better late than never!

With garbage minutes, he's still able to break the U20 record points of the KHL!

 

[Habs4Life]

sick asf boiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

 

[FrankMTL]

Please don't break my heart Demidov, I'm already so invested in this relationship.

 

[Skip Bayless]

He's just trying stuff out there now...

Time to come home kiddo.

 

[GlassesJacketShirt]

Lokomotiv's goalie not helping his team too much on that one.

Edit: His defenseman might have compounded it on the reach.

 

[Koivu11]

I just can’t believe we managed to get him at 5

What luck

 

[CrazyBob]

Hes already too good for the KHL. He need better competition to make sure he can play against top players

 

[shamrun]

Demidov is just doing side quests now in the khl.

 

[Trabdy2]

Crazy goal. Man he's good. Hard to imagine how this skill doesn't translate to high production in the NHL.

Man. Being a defenseman 1on1 against Demidov and seeing him pulling the puck back must be nervewrackin. You just know hes about to pull a crazy move on you

 

[Ozmodiar]

This guy is a f***ing freak

Genuinely think 120pt seasons are not out of the question for him

Le Freak!

… c’est chic!

 

[rahad]

His stick handling is elite. The only thing i find it weird is his skating. I just hope a goon in the NHl will not take a shot at his knee.
