He didn’t pre-draft sans poutine

I've watched him play a fair amount. Smart player and very game. Not an offensive phenom like his brother, but safer defensively. I'd say he's somewhere between his brother Lane, and Jordan Harris. Leaning closer to Harris. We'll have to shield Lane eventually, especially facing big and fast teams. So I don't know if we have the stomach to pick another diminutive D-man, unless out of pure nepotism.

I will get banned again soon, worry not.
We already have a Cole and a Hutson.

Catton already dreaming of Habs (he also mentions later that he weighs 175lbs)
«Je dirais qu’un trio avec moi, Kirby Dach et Juraj Slafkovsky pourrait être très dangereux. Deux gros et talentueux joueurs à qui je pourrais amener ma vision du jeu et mes habiletés [...] Ce serait une unité divertissante, je crois.»

Arpon on Demidov
Though the Canadiens were not high on Matvei Michkov last year, there is a sense that their opinion of Demidov is quite different. They would have no hesitation drafting him if he were available. He has one year left on his contract with SKA St. Petersburg and has refused to sign an extension, which could make that extra year in Russia troublesome, especially since Demidov has clearly demonstrated he has nothing left to prove in the junior MHL. But one year is not three years like it was for Michkov, and the sense is the Canadiens view Demidov as a far more complete player. In fact, a team source said, the Canadiens were able to get some live viewings of Demidov in Russia this season, which they were not able to do with Michkov.

Yeah, good point. He only scored 116 points (most points for a draft eligible player in all of junior) due to the fact he was on a line with wingers 5'11", 181lb Chase Bertholet and 5'10" 186lb Conner Roulette. So he obviously needs big wingers to be effective.

Tons of players who had great stats leading teams but many need to adjust to the NHL pro game
He wont be the arrogant dick like the entitled Marner

Hope the Habs don’t pass on him because he’s only 5’11

I don’t care too much about the 5’11 part. More concerned with the 175 part.
