I would be surprised if there was an "or Demidov" for any of the top 4 picks. This is a scenario like last year where the top pick was clear, then it was a group of high end players at premium positions. The Russian skilled winger will get the shaft in favor of defensemen and skilled players with size, especially a center. I wouldn't be surprised if there's a repeat of last year and even Montreal passes on Demidov.
