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

[Habs Halifax]

Its a taste maybe, do you rather have Ovechkin or Crosby.

I think Demidov might have the potential to be leading the NHL in pts at some point in his career.

Russians are due for their next star. Kaprisov was the last one? Kaprisov is 27 and Demidov is 19. 8 years! Am I forgetting someone?

Michkov is more like a top 6F talent IMO.

 

[WeThreeKings]

Another goal, bit of a fluky one.

 

[HomaridII]

Demidov already with an assist today. Game just started.

 

[Kennerback]

Demidov. Top scorer on SKA (tied).

Now has 44 points. Kaprizov’s KHL U-22 record is 51.

This is just stupidly ridiculous. As a 19 year old rookie on his D+1 year, he will break the U-22 all time KHL record, all while averaging 13 mins per game on the season.

Thank you to those 3 teams for passing on him.

 

[Redux91]

I actually think all of them are terrible lol

Naw
Demigod works somehow, it just fits

I'll say Vanya until he reaches that godlike status tho lol

The question becomes.. can he also break the U-23 all time KHL record? Im sure he can.

I am sure at the bell centre they will be chanting “Ivan, Ivan” it’s just easier

What is the U-23 record?

 

[HomaridII]

What is the U-23 record?

I believe it’s 55 by nikishin last year

That's what i'm saying. Calling him god like when even Gretzky was only the great one or le magnifique for Mario seems like an overreach

Vanya is acceptable lol

 

[Jurivan Demidovsky]

In a future fantasy re-draft he might go #1

Lane Hutson #1 in re-draft ?
Ivan Demidov #1 in re-draft ?

Time will tell, but either way we have hit some major jackpots here.

Stupid Carolina.

 

[Kennerback]

Can a Russian speaker tell me what the phonetic word(s) “piridaje” or “piridajee” means. I keep hearing it during games. Thanks.

Edit: just dig up it mean “pass”.

Just one assists and the game just started. meh

(kidding)

Michael hage is a great pick too. If not for his draft year shoulder injury and what happened to him, he would have been borderline top 10 or just outside it.

Very confident he will be a great second line player for us eventually. In a redraft a couple years from now I promise you he won’t be 21st

 

[LaineBOOM]

I believe it’s 55 by nikishin last year

Imagine if Demi was forced to play in KHL until he is like 21. He would demolish every possible record ever.

'generational'

It means "The anointed one", "he who walks on frozen water".

Michkov is more like a top 6F talent IMO.

Michkov will be a star as well. Kaprisov arrived in the NHL much, much later. Its rare we get to see 19-20 years Russians in the NHL. They have to learn like the rest of them...

Michkov might be a top line talent but he's too self centered to be a star. It's all offense, offense, offense and he doesn't like to play a 200' game. Stars have less flaws than that. I don't think you are going to coach him to be a complete forward. Might try it for a half a season maybe but go back to his offensive only ways of thinking.

Demidov has less areas you can nit pick. Might be me as a Habs fan being gullible but I can see the clear differences.

 

[Natey]

Btw could someone make a Poll/voting for:

What will be the nickname of Ivan Demidov? Options:

A: Demigod
B: Demidog/Demidawg
C: Dove
D: Demigodsent

Some other options?

I'm calling him Maui. End of story.

What 20-year-old, not named Macklin Celebrini, has a 200ft game in their rookie year???
You really think Demidov will have less 200ft issues in his rookie year???

Think about this again, you are no where close to a good evaluation.

 

[Habs Halifax]

You can usually point out the flaws early on and I don't think Michkov will be a star. Top 6F or top line talent yes. Star? NO

Is Caufield a star to you? Who's better in their prime? Caufield or Michkov?

People going too hard on Michkov. Kids going to get better just like Hutson.
