Interesting that he is being represented by Gold Star hockey, they seem to represent a lot of Russian NHL players, I think this would be a good assurance he will come over to the NHL to play if any teams had doubts.

Demigod!

He is going 2, this is just hype. Teams don’t pass on this talent, he doesn’t have the warts michkov and this draft doesn’t have 4 forwards that play premium positions and are all viewed as elite.
Ok now that I’ve said that, he is officially allowed to slip to 5th.

Am I crazy, or does he look like a blond version of Zach Parise?
Either way, I hope he somehow falls to 5th and we take him.

Yea it’s not happening
We are going to get tij. He’ll be a gamer but not a superstar
Getting pretty sick of Habs picks always being the first choice after the elite tier of player in the draft. Just feels so unlucky the way the last few draft classes have fallen. Dirtbag franchises like Chicago just getting handed elite talent every draft makes it even worse.

Well aint no way we get him now unless we trade up and I dont see that happening either…

Introspection moment: why does this photo instil in me a great sadness? Because it has helped me to realize that, deep down, I was hoping we’d see a picture of a frail, tiny Russian boy in a wheelchair surrounded by translators and shadowy mobsters, allowing for the tiniest shred of luck that the three teams picking ahead of us might pass on him.
Alas.

I want team chemistry over sheer talent. I’m not sure he’d fit in our group.

> Ivan Demidov is here. He speaks English well, he’s taller than expected. He happily shocked NHL teams with both of those revelations.
> On the potential No. 2 pick, who plans to be in North America for the 2025-26 season.
> Ryan Kennedy
> Just did an in-person interview with 2024 draft prospect Ivan Demidov and he is at least six-feet tall – definitely bigger than listed

He would look so good in a Hab jersey
He even looks like a young Kovalev.
