Demidov is a HAB
I don't believe that. Houle saw a kid clearly not ready for the AHL. No way a professional head coach would decide that a recently drafted 1st round pick is not worthy and dislikes him. Management wouldn't tolerate that.
He decided a recent 2nd round pick forced to play the AHL at 19 was only going to be a checker and held that opinion even when he arrived later on and despite scoring, playing hard and giving the team more than a number of vets, that player was traded away.
