Ivan Demidov - Montreal Canadien

[habs25th]

I see a 6"1 russian RW with amazing hands and I think of Kovalev.

Are we happy if he's Kovalev?

I am, especially if a bit more consistent, which he seems to be

This evening… he’ll transform into a piece of shit after his 1st shift of preseason hockey

I'm loving this pick already, my buddy who's spent the last 16 years bashing Carey Price is already bashing Demidov!

You need smarter buddies.

 

[Hoiles]

You need smarter buddies.

That guy is smart enough, he just needs his phone taken away during hockey season.

 

[Habspatrol]

So what's Demigod's eta? 2025?

Yep. Next year

 

[Sal_Butera]

Michkov is a cherry-picker

Fixed

 

[GrandWazoo]

Highest Russian draft pick in franchise history

 

[HabsFan1]

Anyone else think he would have gone higher if Russia was at the WJC

 

[Krustchev]

Michkov is better

We’ll find out in the next few years.

 

[Habsy]

They wanted no part of a shakedown. Period. Point is moot.

 

[Rolex]

It's definitely a moot point.....stop comparing Mich to Demidov....we were never gonna pick Michkov

 

[GrandWazoo]

I still think Demidov is a better player for Montreal than Michkov ever was. More complete player, compete level and attitude not in question, and almost as skilled. No questions for me.

Does it bother you that he's dominated at a lower level in Russia ?

How would that translate to the OHL for example....
