What would be awesome is if the Russians want to be here now and we get a Panarin like guy to sign after drafting high end people the next few years. We become the next Russian destination and have a dynasty.
Im sure everyones keeping an eye on Demidov while theyre watching Michkov's development this year, and its not a stretch to think we'll be in a position to draft him in the top 5. Would make the transition to NA easier for both of them having a fellow countryman and even though we need to draft some stud defense early in the rebuild we have 2 first rounders and if the choice is Demidov or an offensive D with questionable defense, I'd rather have Demidov. But if the choice is between Demidov or Levshunov i probably take Levshunov who speaks Russian I'm assuming so its a win/win
 
Interesting.

Who's gonna play with him when he comes?
Too early to say I’d say, especially if it’s the 3 year wait we’re all expecting. Odds are Gauthier will be one of his line mates, whether he’s the C they think he can be out a winger. Also depends who we can draft the next 3 drafts! Hopefully at least a couple more top 7 picks!

Demidov
 
It’s probable, we will be picking in the top 7, the next 2-3 yrs.
Demidov is not the same ilk as Michkov.
‘We need to continue taking BPA, at least with our high picks and avoid the trap of drafting for position needs. Is Demidov a center or rw. We need more Center prospects. So would we draft Demidov if available if he is a RW. That is a million $ question. Something Jones and Briere may need to figure out.

Apparently he can play center but I've always seen Demidov on the left wing which is perfect to be on a line with Michkov. Theyre both on contract with SKA so theres a strong chance they play together in the next few years, but Demidov's contract ends a year earlier than Mich's

You shouldn’t deny possibility of sign new two-three years deal by Demidov. It’s a new normal for modern talented Russian players. And ofcourse philly needs to draft him for the beginning. Levshunov is a perfect BPA/need for flyers. He is mobile and big two way RD, and you have Michkov, Gauthier and Foerster for now. But I think it’s better to have top-3/4 pick next year for drafting one of them.

I would hope so too.

And if everything's fails bring back Sammy to put it 2 -1 and win the game.
 
"I told him to cut out that slow skating bullshit. Go in with speed and try and score. All that dipsy-doodle stuff leads to fumbling the puck too often"

-Torts
People in here laughed at me for calling Zegras top end talent along Marner and Lafreniere....

You only need to imagine a Line with Michkov, Gauthier and Tippet or Farabee.
 
Looks like the Flyers made a few phone calls and they already have him playing "C"


Apparently Michkov played at center in the today's practice with Tolchinsky and Leipsic at wings, wonder if SKA will try that at the Sochi tournament too.

That would be an interesting turn, but let's see if it holds for more than a single practice.

Michkov will play at center position in preseason game.
 
Nice. Is one of those names Ivan Demidov?

Yeah, #11 Demidov. It looks like the line is Polyakov - Michkov - Demidov.

 
Michkov's line was by far the best in the first period. Michkov is crazy good as a playmaker.

If it's not blocked in NA here are goals. VK.com | VK
ya, hes moving the puck really well. that line with demidov is easily the best line out there, theyve had chances every shift, both of them with a goal and assist
