I'm think he will choose a number between 0 & 98, but I'm not 100% sure yet, I have to keep researching this.

#100 would be nice for him since #99 is retired and he can't use that number.

-91 (MINUS 91)

Demidov's current favorite NHL players are Hughes and Kucherov.

So #86 can be a possibility... What y'all thinking about this #?!

I was thinking about 86 the other day for him because of Kucherov. I also think 88 would look great on him

IVAN DEMIDOV IS AMONGST THE TOP PLAYERS OF THE KHL PLAYOFFS. AS A FORWARD. IN THE FIRST ROUND OF 2025 GAGARIN CUP PLAYOFFS.

5 PTS (4 GOALS/2 ASSISTS) IN 6 GAMES. WITH ONLY 17:03 TOI.

Not crazy about #93, maybe it gets changed for next season. I'm hoping he plays on Saturday, two games to get a taste of the NHL pace would do wonders for him.

 

[le_sean]

Guess we have to start calling him Killer with that number.

[Junohockeyfan]

Can he be 92.1. Why don't they allow decimal points?

 

[ahmedou]

In the history of the Montreal Canadiens jersey there's only one Habs player that've wear the #93. It was Doug Gilmour.

Ivan Demidov may be the second Habs player to wear #93.

This song is cursed.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

I wonder if that's a wink to our last cup

 

[ahmedou]

I understandou the #93 choice!

Our last Stanley Cup was in 1993! In honor of the 24th Stanley Cup!

Ready for the 25th Stanley Cup!

 

[JianYang]

I have fond memories of #93. Gilmour was a key peice to that 02 team that beat Boston.

Gilmour and koivu co-led the team in playoff points, and it was nice to see him turn back the clock one last time.

So there will only be 2 player to ever wear the 93 ? with the Habs

 

[Team_Spirit]

#93? Baller alert

 

[EveryDay]

Would have prefer 89 like Alexander Mogilny but I guess Selanne number is not bad

 

[Conflicted Habs fan]

Davidov's number ultimately will be an homage to #8 so #88 it shall be.

 

[Kojo]

out of all the numbers that is one of them.

 

[Redux91]

93 wouldn't be the worst thing in the world temporarily

But it's clear he'll have 91 next year lol
THEN I'll buy the jersey

 

[BaseballCoach]

I would play him with Newhook and Kapanen and send Laine to the 3rd line

I would mske the fewest changes possible.

 

[morhilane]

93 wouldn't be the worst thing in the world temporarily

They are aiming for a 92-91-93 line.

93 wouldn't be the worst thing in the world temporarily

From Redux91 to Demidov91

91 next season.
Kapanen takes 27.
