From the highlights he looks similar to Kucherov with his vision and perfect passes and I'm not saying he will have that impact right away in the NHL but there are similarities. Am I wrong to say this?
I've not seen Demidov plays enough to know but Kucherov is one of the only 5 players to have ever hit 100 assists in a season (Gretzky, Lemieux, Orr, Kucherov and MacDavid). Kucherov got the swag to go with the skills ...Thank you to those that post highlights of this kids play, I enjoy watching it.

As you know back in those days prospects were drafted at 20. It took Guy into his 4th season to break out.What was Guy 23 yo? 1974-75 when he had his first big point totals.
If Demidov can amount to 75% of Guy’s impact, magic.
Richer got me out of my seat many times. When he was on he was electrifyingThank you for the replies guys and it is exciting to see such high end skills on display because we really need it. I watched Guy Lafleur play and that guy could lift the fans out of their seats. Kovalev was the last super talented player we had and we still talk about him often which says a lot about the lack of skill we have watched in the last 30 years. Honorable mention to Bobby Smith and Mats Naslund, they weren't too shabby either.
Not loving Demi’s record of 17 pts in 20 plus games. How many of the games did he average 17 seconds of ice time. Would love to see him get a fair shot at setting some KHL record. Hopefully the worst of this is done now
Do you doubt the power of the Masters to turn Demidov into a hockey player?
that pass has so nice. it looked like he has going to shoot at the goalie before making a pass at the last second.
I can't wait to see Demidov pass like this to Patrik Laine next year.
17 seconds was me being sarcastic. It’s those 6 games that I’m talking about where he hardly got any time to play and show his Skills. If he played more time then ins YW ad of being bullied into a contract, he’d be leading the league. In earnest though, it’s not a big deal. He’s finally getting his ice time and his stats show he’s an amazing player.What? Only 3 skaters in the KHL this season have more then 19 pts, a 29 year old blueliner and a 5'8 24 year old have 20 pts, and his teammate leads the KHL with 21 pts. Demidov had 1 goal taken away early on in the season for a weak penalty call. He should have at least 18 pts. That would be 3 pts away from the KHL lead in points at 18 years old.
I don't know what you mean by ave of :17 secs of TOI, he never had that low of TOI. He had 4 games in a row where he played between 3:17 and 5:31, or 6 games in a row where he played between 3:17 and 7:32 The other 14 games, 13 of them were all over 10 mins, the other was 9:14.
This was the first time this season that he played over 16 mins in back to back games. In the last 4 games he's played a total of around 56 minutes
Demidov is a late birthday, Kuch was ~2PPG in the Q at the same age.Nope not wrong at all
For instance, at the same age
Kucherov had 1 goal and 4 pts in 18 KHL games
As for the stylistic comparison, it's not bad. Kucherov is probably the smartest offensive mind of this generation, and has the one-timer threat and a quick release to go along with it.Thank you to those that post highlights of this kids play, I enjoy watching it.

Yeah. Imagine Demi passing like that to Dvorakthat pass has so nice. it looked like he has going to shoot at the goalie before making a pass at the last second.

Different eras, different players but similar body types, both uber skilled, smooth skaters. Both subjected to benching, tyrannical coaches -- Lafleur lived it for many years.Most exciting prospect since Guy Lafleur

However, no comparison will ever do both players justice, esp. Lafleur with the proven NHL track record. Just fun to observe some interesting data points for each, nothing more.

well.... our top player are injury prone.Are you saying that Demidov will be on the injured list most of next season?
Lafleur really helped Peter Mahovlich become a late bloomer and Pete helped Lafleur in return with great playmaking. I hope we'll see the same chemistry with Demidov and Dach.Different eras, different players but similar body types, both uber skilled, smooth skaters.

Agreed that most people remember Lemaire mostly when they think of who centered Lafleur but Pete was solid early after Lafleur broke out. I was bummed when they traded big Pete for Pierre Larouche.Lafleur really helped Peter Mahovlich become a late bloomer and Pete helped Lafleur in return with great playmaking.

Those two are going be incredible on the PP1Jesus. Sell the pass, square up to the goalie to sell the shot then no look pass?
Him and Hutson are gonna be pushing each other to ever climbing heights of creativity
