Exactly, the “hockey dad” approach to prospects around here is misguided. Dude is an unreal talent, playing him with two very good players, in softer minutes, is the proper approach. WTF would you break up one of the better lines in the league? So it can be slightly better?

How do you know it won't make the line much better?

If I had to describe Demidov he has ups and downs but full of superstar potential.


He is a bit risky at times no different I guess than Hutson he tends to just float sometimes doesn't like to go to the net w/o the puck but rather hang around looking for open spots very similar to Laine.


On the back check "defensive hockey" he is sadly a puck watcher tunnel vision on the puck very similar to Slafkovsky.


Offensively much stronger than we likely thought he is already quite strong on the puck protects it well something MTL badly needs good hockey


IQ but sometimes takes pointless weak shots but I cannot complain too much I rather players shoot than just mess around on the perimeter "shots are a good thing".


So I am sure most people wonder why is he often benched or receives less ice time than you would expect?Well I think it is a few things he does tend to float at times his defensive game is not SMART he will back check but doesn't really understand how to do it and he is risk taker likely not something a coach wants to see in a close game.

Conclusion:

@galkanftw likely knows very little about Demidov. Also a troll which didn’t miss the opportunity to take passing shots at Hutson and Slafkofsky. It could very well be a 12 or 13 year old that wrote that.
