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?

Demidov is a HAB
Ahhh 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?
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 player
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?

I mean, I called this team being dogshit this year. We'll be dogshit until we aren't. It can take a minute.

You may be right. But it's early to claim Michkov is generational.

Only thing generational so far is how epic Emelin looked flattening his ass when Michkov tried to cut to the middle on him.
I love these people who live in the future and argue with others about it lol.
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.

I really thought we were taking a forward, and same as you, shook my head for a day or so.
HuGo was big on Reinbacher, as they were on Slaf...............
It's a process and here we are hoping these guys are making educated decisions, and not talking about throwing darts.
It's far from an exact science....really looking forward to the draft and what goes down....
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.
Shit team was SAN Jose, Anaheim, Chicago, they were world class diarrhea
Think he meant we lost on Bedard…but can be completely delusional and think Michkov is generational….?

With Michkov coming over next season it will be the first time in history sports fans will be able to witness 11 generational players during the same year. Incredible. Generational, even.

Too bad the Habs have to get bigger, because Catton should be the obvious pick at #5.

Go Habs Go
He's been lacking physically strength in a major way all season long, he looks like a tooth pick on skates as his lower body strength will need a lot of work but the reason to be excited is if he can mature enough physically to say 6'0 190ish with his skill level he could be one of the best players in the NHL down the road.
