Have these concerns about Demidov's skating always been around? Or is it becoming a thing cause we're getting closer to the draft and people just have to write about something at this point?
I have no idea. He could be the next Kucherov or the next Dadonov....hard to project especially with players playing west of SiberiaHave these concerns about Demidov's skating always been around?

Ahhh I see...so it's not necessarily that he's a bad skater, just not explosive.They've always been around, he's got a knock knee stance and relies on agility and edges like Hutson vs speed.
Nitpicking is what we fans do in the off seasonAhhh I see...so it's not necessarily that he's a bad skater, just not explosive.
Meh, not a big deal for me. Seems like nitpicking.
What else besides passing on Michkov are you basing this opinion?Habs are to conservative to take Demidov if there. They will take Lindstrom, or Iginla.
Nah in this case, we're just taking what all the pseudo-scouts like McCagg or Pronman etc are all saying.Nitpicking is what we fans do in the off season
Michkov was more than enough. We could have had Michkov and most likely Dem this year andntraded our 1st late pick ++ for around 10 and get a solid D and almost be done our rebuild. But Herr we are. Lost a year and generational playerWhat else besides passing on Michkov are you basing this opinion?

And how on earth did we lose on the generational talent? Chicago didn’t even finish in last place and had the honours.
Michkov has yet to prove he’s a better option to Reinbacher.
Please tell me that you knew last year on draft day that Dach would be out all year and that we’d be picking 5th overall and knew about Parekh, Dickinson, Buium, Levshunov, Silayev would all be stud prospects?

Only thing generational so far is how epic Emelin looked flattening his ass when Michkov tried to cut to the middle on him.You may be right. But it's early to claim Michkov is generational.
When Demidov is drafted #7: My god I can't believe the habs passed on a generational talent again, my god these guys are idiots uuurgggghhhhhhDemidov mocked at #2: “I hope by some miracle he falls to us! C’mon Chicago, pick a Defenseman!!”
Demidov mocked at #5: “not so sure about his skating style. I wish I saw him vs quality competition. Too bad he’s way over in Russia. What’s up with the injury. Maybe we should go Defenseman!”
Generational???Michkov was more than enough. We could have had Michkov and most likely Dem this year andntraded our 1st late pick ++ for around 10 and get a solid D and almost be done our rebuild. But Herr we are. Lost a year and generational player
I really thought we were taking a forward, and same as you, shook my head for a day or so.It will come down to who this management team believes is the Best Player available at their disposal at #5. If they think that one of the Dmen is so superior than the best forward available then they should draft that Dman.
I was pissed last year for about a day with the Reinbacher pick but then it hit me...what the f*** do I know about who the best option was? The scouts vetted everyone and decided David Reinbacher was the best pick. Same goes this year...whoever they pick is ok with me.
With Dach in the lineup for even half a season, we are probably finishing with 6 extra points and picking 10-12th which is where I’m expecting us to pick next year and I wouldn’t go as far as saying we were dogshit ….we were much more competitive and in games, pretty much what I expected.I mean, I called this team being dogshit this year. We'll be dogshit until we aren't. It can take a minute.
Think he meant we lost on Bedard…but can be completely delusional and think Michkov is generational….?You may be right. But it's early to claim Michkov is generational.
You know what they do to horses that are knock kneed, we better forget about him.They've always been around, he's got a knock knee stance and relies on agility and edges like Hutson vs speed.
Generational???
It's golf season, we can give you a mulligan on that one.
