“I think he’s a star…he’s the most purely skilled player in this class, Macklin Celebrini included, [in terms of] pure puck skills. He’s one of the most talented 1 on 1 individual creators that I’ve ever scouted in 11 years of doing this…- Scott Wheeler on Ivan Demidov on the Sick Podcast tonight
Things never remotely uttered about a habs prospect in my lifetime.

Never heard of a Habs prospect talked like this in my life lmao. This feels fake 😭😭

Then why does he fall to 5th? I’m kind of weary about how much “superstar” hype is surrounding this dude. If he’s more purely skilled offensively than Celebrini then how bad is his defensive game?
Honest question I never see anyone talking about it haha
Edit: downvotes for any slight criticism of him is pretty hilarious

I’m so used to be disappointed that I’m ready for him to become Sherbak🫠

Demidov on draft day was a mustang, superstar styling & profiling. His eyes looking at us…giving the 2 finger guns mind celly.
p.s. I am not sober

In the video I saw here after the draft, he was doing things I have never seen a player do in a Habs jersey. I can’t wait to see this kid play with Slaf, Suzuki, Caufield and Hutson. Future is bright friends.

Is this real? My 11 year old, chemo-undergoing self watching my idol (guess who) play during my first time ever attending an NHL game while in Montreal could never have fathomed how much the Bergevin era could have crushed my soul.
I don’t think I’m capable of being this optimistic.

Our young top 6 is getting stacked. When’s the last time we had more than 3 good forwards?

Good Lord – the opening to Tony’s podcasts are outrageous. Way too long.

Will he be as good as McCarron though?

This will add fuel to the Michkov vs Reinbacher debate. Michkov and Demidov would actually compliment each other quite well from what I hear/read/see, would have been fun.

Would be sick if he reaches his potential.
