I’m gonna live tweet this shit. Demidovs « he lost » about slaf was gold

Very interesting that they discussed Demidov as a potential #1 center, I was just assuming he’s going on the wing.
Having a 1/2 punch of Demidov and Suzuki would be pretty deadly.

Cant wait for our future boys& girls. We have such top class management that really wants a long term success for our beloved Montréal Canadiens.
So glad Molson decided to turn the page and embark on this long overdue chapter.

-Vincent Lecavalier on Demidov

So, unless there’s some really clever editing — that move from 26 to 21 was all for Hage!
and if he was taken beforehand, they were re-trading the pick

A great gift to us all!! Hughes should win GM of the year!
Minato_is_God
Interesting that at least some of our scouts see Demidov as a center.
Billy Ryan said « I’d take Demidov, you get a potential number 1 center vs a top six scoring winger ».

Kaprizov + Jack Hughes sounds good to me
also Aatos looks big sitting across from those guys, are they just short? cuz hes only listed at 6′ I think?
ChrisvsWorlds
Love these draft videos, I hope they keep doing it!
Seeing the clips of our top prospects at the end of the video had me hitting the Hopeium.

Impressive to see we had a team willing to give us an unprotected 1st in what’s believed to be a better draft class and an early 2nd. Allegedly a bad team so I’m assuming it’s Ottawa.

Our analytics guy seems to like Koivu which is interesting. Bobrov said Hage had a 20% chance of being there at 21, so I can see why they were all so happy after the draft with Demidov + him.

what did they blur/cut out that Marty said after he asks the second group about Demidov? @ 10:54
is it another player’s name, since they explain earlier that they were tasked with analyzing pairs of players, some profane nickname, or just throwing some curses out there in a room with the boys?

Why do ninja’s cutting onions always appear as soon as Hage story and draft moment happens?
HoodFellaz
I’m glad this just confirmed what we all thought, they were all laughing walking onto the stage to pick Demidov.

I’m really curious if there was anything actually on the table when Kent asked Marty “if he isn’t there at 5, do you trade 5 for their first round unprotected and a 2nd?” And what team it was.
I’m glad we got Demidov but that alternate reality made my ears perk lol
douce_abeille
I love this team so fucking much. I cannot wait for the future.

C’est intéressant d’entendre Aatos Koivu dire qu’il a plus cherché conseil auprès de son oncle (Mikko) qu’auprès de son père face à la pression d’être «le fils de…».
DIKs_Steeler
It seems like Sawyer (and probably Koivu) was late 2nd on their list

Everyone just let Billy Ryan speak!
Loses_Bet
Guys, I think I’m developing feelings for Demidov.

Aatos Koivu has the best flow I’ve seen on a Hab since I don’t know when … what a mane
Loses_Bet
1st and 2nd for 5th overall must’ve gotten everyone at the table’s heart beating.
Longshanks123
Wow they really did make that trade specifically to get Hage
Normal_Future2167
I clapped when Demidov was smiling about playing with Lane Hutson 👏
Went Wughes, meanwhile, confidently: « Our player is still available, thanks bye »
Moments collide, incredible stuff
Longshanks123
Demidov looks just as happy to be selected by the Habs as we were that the Habs selected him, and I didn’t think that was possible
Reeeeaper
Kent Hughes can’t stop talking about Lane Hutson either. He’s just like all of us.
Burgergold
Does Hannu Laine (habs finland scout, the guy who called Aatos Koivu) has any link with Patrick?
DWatkinsDaBomb
Oh man I wish I knew what those two trades Kent was discussing would have been. Who was going to give us their unprotected first-rounder? And what were we doing with #21 if Hage didn’t fall to us.
C’mon, Kent. Write your autobiography already!
NME_TV
Interesting trade offer, Chicago was said to be shopping the following year’s pick unprotected. It was rumoured they wanted Demidov but maybe they were after Lindstrom or another …
There was certainly more to the deal, you can see some flash editing to cut off what KH says…
JacquesEvans
Jesus fucking Christ inject this in my damn veins. 💦
MTL_Demidov
Made this account in hopes we got the demigod. Thank god it worked out
BeBenNova
God damnit i love this fucking video so much i’ve watched it twice now
It’s so fucking refreshing to see how open they are about the entire thought process, to openly admit that they had trades in place if the guys they wanted weren’t available
Demidov is like this cross between Kovalev and Ivan Drago
I’m rooting so fucking hard for Michael Hage, i can’t not tear up whenever footage of the draft starts
Hearing about Aatos Koivu’s family screaming and jumping on him after getting drafted to his Dad’s legendary franchise…
The fucking Patrik Laine trade
Boys, mark my words, we will cherish this offseason till the day we die
