Confirmed with Link: Ivan Demidov released by SKA, signs ELC with the Canadiens (3 years, $940.833k AAV)

[The Real Timo]

I wonder how the Michkov Morality police feel about our shady backdoor Russian negotiations...

f*** it don't care! Get Suzuki to 100 points!

I've been saying for a while... it's all about paying the right people the right amount. Nothing too complicated about that. That's how the world works.

 

[Big Trout]

So... is there a highlight reel of Demidov yet?

RDS posted one from his KHL season on their site, I'm sure there's one or 2 on youtube also

We are not only going to burn villages but CITIES

 

[LemonSauceD]

Yall have such a bright future. Happy for u guys.

There was no payoff. The Habs committed to play SKA in a friendly whenever the conditions made it possible.

Thank you Roman Rotenberg for your superior prospect development insight. Vanya had an excellent D+1, we wouldn't be here without Roman's good nature and instincts. SKA has a lifetime fan now.

If a statement like that from Hughes is all it took to get Demidov over here, I have no issue with that!

 

[Big Trout]

We've got a Demi-BOMB

Yeah only 4 games left after tonight, you want him to get comfortable for playoffs assuming they make it. I think you have to play him Friday or Saturday

He will come in Montreal tomorrow or the day after. So yeah is first game could be this Saturday. Let him time to get use to Montreal.

That was a SOLID interview (it’s in English obviously, for our Anglo brethren) and I can’t believe BPM got that scoop and interview.

This gets them on the map.

Marco gets the total credit for being on it since this AM and having an interview with Demi.

Well, Marco’s source was da kid himself. So…

This is insane, but I love it

 

[CDN24]

Yes, he was on their reserve list as of last trade deadline. An unsigned UFA would not be eligible.... I Think

 

[Yukon Cornelius Habs]

Well, he got it right.

@MarkJ should change his name to @MarcoJ

 

[HuGo Sham]

really exciting times... welcome to Montreal...

the demidov signing was pretty ok too

 

[austin316]

Awesome news!
Now we just need to find a 2nd line centre, shore up our forward depth / grit, and keep adding to our defence.

Future is looking bright

 

[ChikN]

Me reading the last 27 pages. LET'S GOOOO!!!

 

[BaseballCoach]

id take cole off personally

Neither, he starts on PP2. If he shows well, he can be moved up.

 

[Habidelidoo]

Just a 20-hour flight away from seeing Demidov arrive!
