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

It's just crazy how they use this kid. Oh well, just a couple of months to go until he's over here.

Even if SKA lose early in the playoffs and Demidov is done with his KHL season, it will depend if SKA allows to release him. Because KHL contracts end on April 30th. So they might be assholes and keep him until his contract runs out.

I wouldn't expect him this year. Habs will sign him to an ELC, but I think the only way he comes over is if Laval is making a deep playoff run. Other than that, I think he'll make his debut next year.

He won't see a lick of AHL time. Even if they were still playing they'd just have him get settled in Montreal and work out with Nicholas and the boys at Brossard.
 
Kuznetsov and Gritsyuk are back in the lineup. Demidov is on the 4th line or 13rd forward

I don't expect him on the ice with us, more so just being under our control preparing for next year.

You can really see the lack of prepardness when SKA goes against the good teams. They have the better talents, but it don't amount to much.

As an aside, he was playing with Kuznetsov for the second half of the first period.

they used to run to April 30th but that changed this past off-season, they now run until May 31st due to the longer season.
