that was rumored.
But I can see why a team wouldn't be interested in Michkov at 5th OA and would be interested in Demidov at 5th OA (of course different years), Mickhov lacks height, plays small, not overly interested in playing D, skating isn't great from what I recall (I only saw him twice this year), not the hardest worker. Rumors about not being a team player but this is where the Habs have some advantage since Bobrov's dad works for SKA so they would know the details much better then any HFers.
Demidov while he only has a little more height, he has a frame that you hope if he can add enough mass and strength that it then projects him to have more size, better edges, more complete game. I do think he could be used at center if this happens.
So to me Michkov who I see as more of a better Caufield vs Demidov who could be in the same mold as Celebrini.
My take on Michkov vs Demidov holding up still,
