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

[Kennerback]

I saw the video. They come back on the 2024 draft. Discuss how it was difficult to properly gauge the strength of the MHL and to thus evaluate Demidov properly.
The fact Demidov's "absolutely torching" the KHL changes their perception. Much easier to judge now how transferable his skills are to the NHL.
It's very laudatory. Not much new to posters here but the fact they are not Habs fans brings a different perspective.

They also don’t really touch on how Demidov is putting #s compared to those under 20 players despite way less ice time, not just about games played.
