Demidov is a HAB
Lol This is what I was referring to
I personally think the Hawks go Levshunov (but like you said, I don't see Demidov getting by Columbus in the event the Hawks don't take him, so this isn't cope like some Habs fans have)
I wouldn't be shocked if they did go Demidov, but if you don't have live viewings of Demidov and you are split between a winger and a defenseman, a right shot defenseman no less, and you have viewings of the defenseman but not the winger.. I would think they'd go defenseman as most teams do.
Especially if you're in a multi year rebuild like the Hawks, this might be their only chance to get a legitimate shot a top pairing right shot defenseman, next year is looking very forward heavy and with forwards that bring more size and bite to their game which would complement Bedard more.
TL;DR I think they'd take Levshunov all things considered but if they went with Demidov, I'd not be surprised at all. Either way, I know the Habs aren't getting Demidov.
