No : I think there is more than solely level of competition to consider ( while being somewhat important overall ) . The huge divide in their offensive skills and skating would be major differentiators here . So again no for a multitude of reasons
You're the one who implying I'm calling Demidov generational, I'm not. I'm simply stating that he will bring more to the table as a player to a team than Michkov. Celebrini and Demidov are in the same group of franchise players and if he were to play in North America instead of that weak russian league because SKA was salty he wouldn't sign long-term, he'd probably go 1st or at least seriously contest that position on multiple scouting lists. This "playing against men argument" doesn't mean crap to me because I'm looking at their skill sets and how transferable they are to the NHL. Cale Makar was ass-whooping future plumbers in the AJHL just as he's currently making the best defensemen in the world look foolish in the NHL. Altough Demidov is no Makar, his game transfers to the league just as great as it was for Jack Hughes(without being scrawny like him) and Patrick Kane. I could expect a 60-70 points rookie season from him and around 100 to 110 points in his prime.
Sure because let's take the guy with the pfp of Michkov to be unbiased. I like Demidov better, that's fine if you think otherwiseI'll have some of whatever you're smoking / drinking.
The true homers are easy to spot . lol . Talk about an optimistic view …I'll have some of whatever you're smoking / drinking.
It's just some Maurice Richards here and there, nothing to write home about...
My profile pic has nothing to do with stats, facts and logic, grasp at straws friend! Demidov trends to be a very good 1st line level guy and it’s gonna be interesting to see his KHL production this year, Michkov trends differently. I’m sorry that it hurts your feelings.
Because of his current contract status, Demidov can't be loaned to another KHL team. It's not worth much to compare them at 17-18 when they had different contract situations and pressure from their team from it.
Going straight into the personal attacks and calling someone drunk or drugged for sharing a different opinion than yours has nothing to do with facts and logic but with you being an imbecile who can't entertain anything beyond his scope of biases. And sorry but it'll take way more than you claiming Michkov is better than Demidov to hurt my feelings
They were never taking both, regardless of what fans may have wanted. Would I prefer Michkov and Parekh/Yakemchuk over Demidov and Reinbacher? I'll get back to you in a decade or so.
I think the closest player to Reinbacher in the recent draft would be Silayev or Dickinson so probably Michkov + Silayev/Dickinson vs Demidov and Reinbacher.
Wait what ? Did I miss a post where someone was called drunk or drugged up for their belief? I apologize if I’m wrong but maybe something got lost in translation ; cause I don’t see anything like that ( unless I missed it which is possible ) .
RHD.
That’s great, HuGo wasn’t. Apply for a job with them if you feel so strongly. They took a wing in 2022 as well.
Offensively - Maybe. They needed a RHD badly and Reinbacher could still have a bigger impact overall on a game (in general) than Michkov at their prime.
Why call them stupid? Maybe in 3 years you can. You're just as bad as the habs homers but on the opposite end lol
I don’t even Know you and thankfully never will, but I never personally attacked you, but this actually made me crack up thanks for that lol. Your response tells me you’re hurt lmao, I hope you’re ok haha ( and I mean it ). Michkov has progressed superior to Demidov at their respective ages and trends to be a better hockey player most likely, sorry facts hurt your feelings. It’s a nice day outside go enjoy it please lol.
Michkov is a better prospect than Demidov, many Habs fans ( not all there’s some decent ones too ) can’t get over they drafted Reinbacher over him so they come in here to try to make people think Demidov is in the same tier, even calling him generational. That’s why, obsession and cope. And you’re right who knows until they play, but as prospects there’s a very clear gap.
No one knows who is the better prospect until they have at least played 3 years in the NHL. Until then, its simply your opinion. A guess. That's it.
Who’s not chill? Do you watch the players ? lol. What has Demidov done that proves he’s equal to Michkov currently? Eye test makes it even more clear even beyond the stats.
Yep, i watch the players. Very different types of players and both uber talented. Excited to see what they both do in the coming years.
How does it make someone an idiot to look at a player and stats, and deem the clearly superior player superior lol? Explain? Can you explain in any compacity what puts them on the same level right now as prospects?
