Ivan Demidov - Montreal Canadien

I went to an Eastern Orthodox wedding once. They literally put crowns on the heads of the bride and groom as part of the ceremony.

At the NHL Board of Governor meetings in Palm Beach, Fla., in early December, I struck up a conversation with an Eastern Conference executive who brought up Demidov’s name, unsolicited.

“He’s a bona fide superstar, who will arrive in Montreal and immediately make an impact,” he said, adding he thought it wouldn’t take long for the Russian dynamo to become the Canadiens’ best player if he didn’t immediately start on that foot by next fall.

By all accounts, the fifth-overall pick in 2024 is coming, and you don’t have to be an NHL executive to foresee what the injection of his talent might do for the team’s scoring potential.

I suspect Demigod will join Habs in March the way Kuznetsov joined Caps back in 2014.

KHL contracts end in May but wouldn’t be shocking to me if one of the discussions Hughes had with Rottenberg was “incentivizing” to release the player right after SKA season ends in March
