He is clearly the best forward in the draft, both in skating and handwork, he is the best draft assistant by a margin, he has one of the best wrist shots of the draft, one minus is his defensive work, but I hope that in the KHL next season he will improve his defensive game. I think this is the 1st number of the draft
@yer688In the regular season yes size is not a deciding factor.. In the playoffs yes SIZE matters. My sergeant Major used to say bring a baseball bat to knife fight. If one does not kill them the other will.
A second look . If Duysuk and Oar had s baby. I say Oar because the way he spreads his legs apart to keep balance. Hes a a sharke effortlessly surveying the kill zone. He could end up generational or at least Kucerof.
The last played you showed of him defensively could have been a play the defenseman called him out to release pressure and to go back to his position. Where he eventually went to block the shot. It was high iq play. If he would of stayed there the positioning could of been off and the shot he eventually blocked would have been a shot on net instead.
The Hawks dont take a lot of Russians but Mark Eaton and Davidson are on record saying "if you cant skate, you arent going to be a Blackhawk" so i think theyd like Demidov. id rather some size beside Bedard but its hard to look past Demidov
Connor Bedard and now possibly Ivan Demidov. This teams future looks so bright. Hopefully we can get improvement next year. They need to get this team into a winning culture but also being patience with the players that need more time to develop.
@@robrick9361 I’m so pissed. Congrats on taking demidov he’s going to put the Habs on his back. I’m not sure why he dropped to 5, ig the hawks needed defense, not sure what Anaheim was thinking.
He looks legit. Chicago SHOULD pick Demidov as Bedard's getting a little frustrated in Chicago. We have tons of D prospects already in our system and a couple young D on the team already.
It's tough for the Russia prospects...like you said MHL factor, not seeing them at international tournaments...how would Demidov do with more KHL ice time. Lots to consider. But this kid is an offensive dynamo...swing for the fences is what I would do.@@sylvanmw
What does Anaheim see in Beckett Sennecke? If i owned the Sharks, id definitely be checking on Grier and see why they just cost their franchise a star player in Demidov. Im a Habs fan, and this is the guy i wanted. Habs GM nailed 2 of the 3 last drafts. I wanted Slaf over Wright, got him, and i wanted Ryan Leonard over Matvei Michkov (I guess I expected the team that ALWAYS comes in last in scoring, EVERY year, and has a surplus in D, I figured we were going to get a star forward, but nope, they went with...reinbacher, a defensive defenseman, who scored two goals in what the last 3 years?? I know D is super important, but we already were stacked, and it's not like now that we have reinbacher, we r all set now for D. Still hurts, but the other two first overall picks for us were great, imagine if we had Michkov and Demidov!!! Demidov, Suzuki, Michkov, Hutson, and Caufield, THAT'S a power play line!!! But alas, we got reinbacher, there's still a small chance we trade him for someone who can put the puck in the net, time will tell, i hope we get someone who can score before the preseason starts, maybe Rutger McGroarty...
Rumors are that Montréal would move players and picks to get him if they don't have the second pick...he would really fit on a Martin St-Louis roster !!!
I try not to second guess what professional NHL scouting departments come to a conclusion on much of the time, but I really wonder what Chicago was thinking passing on putting him on the same team with Bedard. Even if they only power play'd together, they'd have two elite lines up front. I get the need for defense, super important, but this guy, holy smokes, Montreal got a franchise player.
No doubt he's got elite level skill, but you gotta consider the quality of competition he's facing in the MHL. That said, I'm looking forward to see if he develops into an elite NHLer
Не хотелось бы , чтобы выбрал Чикаго, лучше уж Анахайм. Зачем тратить годы карьеры в тени Бедарда. Достаточно того что такие игроки как Федоров и Малкин не получили всего того признания которого заслуживали. При всем уважении к Айзерману и Кросби - Федоров и Малкин были заметно талантливее. Так же может недополучить положенное и Демидов.
a couple more besides the ones already mentioned in the comments, John Mustard, Tanner Howe, Yegor Surin, Veeti Vaisanen, Stian Solberg, Will Skahan, and Colton Roberts
Great video.... Greentree, Luchanko, Artamonov, Shuravin, O'Reilly, Traff, Mateiko, Freij, L. Pettersson, Badinka, and Siryatsky...would be interesting... Sorry most of these guys there is no film.....
Demidov and Bedard are skilled but too small Bedard was bullied this year both in NHL and IIHF worlds They should go for the Big D or even Lidstrom Big Center
You know it's a crap league when the stands are empty. I'm not picking a player who won't be available to 2028. My team is the Hawks. So they will be picking somewhere in the top 4. Hopefully Celebrini or Lindstrom. D men take to long to develop. Edit. Apparently he'd signed up to 24 ,25. I have him mixed up with another Russian player who is signed till 28. Maybe a former drafted one . Anybody know?
Thank you for watching! Much appreciated! Connelly is an interesting prospect...had some off ice issues that seems to have affected his stock, but offensively decent. Wouldn't consider him a top 10 of this draft though. Middle first possibly...maybe even lower.
Welcome to Montreal!!🎉
He is clearly the best forward in the draft, both in skating and handwork, he is the best draft assistant by a margin, he has one of the best wrist shots of the draft, one minus is his defensive work, but I hope that in the KHL next season he will improve his defensive game. I think this is the 1st number of the draft
If his name was Connor, he’d even go before 1
as a flyers fan him and michkov reuniting in the nhl would feed families maybe danny b dishes off both first rounders and some for that top 2/3 pick
Would be unreal!
He’s going to Anaheim with Gauthier
It’s a good idea, but I don’t think the Hawks will take it. They need impact players. They have tons of first round picks.
This guy is gonna feed Bedard a 70 goal season
Wrong.
Nope
Caufield*
Will he ? 😂
@@ledsabbazepplath3889 doesn’t seem like it now lol. Maybe he will do some bad passes Bedard can pick off lmfao
Love your videos brother, you have a good eye for analyzing talent. Also you kill me lol, BOOM!! Keep it up
Appreciate it! Thanks for watching!
Going 2nd overall. Book it.
The Russian is 168 pounds.. My lunch weighs more... The D-man 6-7 / 207 pounds will be 2nd pick Anton Silayev.
@yer688In the regular season yes size is not a deciding factor.. In the playoffs yes SIZE matters. My sergeant Major used to say bring a baseball bat to knife fight. If one does not kill them the other will.
@yer688 Size and skill is much better than Small & skill. What happens when a truck collides with a Toyota Corolla?
@yer688 I wonder how well Mario Lemieux would do today 6-5/222.. He would be in hockey heaven ???
Certainly worthy of #2, as it stands I think most teams there would go for Lindstrom or a D
welcome to Montreal
Huge player
A second look . If Duysuk and Oar had s baby. I say Oar because the way he spreads his legs apart to keep balance. Hes a a sharke effortlessly surveying the kill zone. He could end up generational or at least Kucerof.
Any chance he goes 1st before Celebrini?
Don't think so. And Celebrini is still playing really well in the NCAA playoffs right now.
What is that stadium 25 seconds in??
The last played you showed of him defensively could have been a play the defenseman called him out to release pressure and to go back to his position. Where he eventually went to block the shot. It was high iq play. If he would of stayed there the positioning could of been off and the shot he eventually blocked would have been a shot on net instead.
True...but the D was covering the forward in front of the net, and he noticed Demidov peel off so proceeded to pressure that forward in the corner.
The Blandhawks will take levshunov because they usually choose wrong when it comes to draft picks.
He might fall like Michkov, but like Michkov, he deserved to go 2nd OA
Would be a guy I’d like to see the Sharks draft if they don’t get number 1. A guy that I would like to see a video on is John Mustard from the USHL.
Saw Mustard at the USA Prospects game and he flies out there. He's on the list!
Wait until he has Lane Hutson feeding him passes
Dangerous!
Could u do Hage, Mustard, and Stiga soon?
Yes...yes...and YES to Stiga...seem him a lot and love his game.
He’s top 2 talent but we’ll see where he lands with the Russian factor
Agreed!
Do Anton Frondell and LJ Mooney if you already have not !!!!
On the list!
Montreal got a major steal! Just hope it isn't a Matvei Michkov situation!!!
Скоро в НХЛ не останется канадцев ,а в КХЛ россиян.
it’s patrick kane all over again except he’s from russia
If he wasnt a russian and this kids name was alex smith. He’s going 1st overall. Could be the player of the draft.
Ivan Demidov ❌
Ian Dermott ✅
HAB NATION 🔵⚪️🔴
The Hawks dont take a lot of Russians but Mark Eaton and Davidson are on record saying "if you cant skate, you arent going to be a Blackhawk" so i think theyd like Demidov. id rather some size beside Bedard but its hard to look past Demidov
That definitely checks out. There isn’t a single player in the Hawks system that isn’t an excellent skater.
Connor Bedard and now possibly Ivan Demidov. This teams future looks so bright. Hopefully we can get improvement next year. They need to get this team into a winning culture but also being patience with the players that need more time to develop.
HAHIWDHUWGJHWBEJFKWHL
😂😂😂
I’m so glad the hawks got the 2nd pick. I’ve been wanting this dude on our team for so long. He’s the next kucherov, just give him time
I'm a Habs fan and happy they got him but why did he fall so low?
I'm confused.
@@robrick9361 I’m so pissed. Congrats on taking demidov he’s going to put the Habs on his back. I’m not sure why he dropped to 5, ig the hawks needed defense, not sure what Anaheim was thinking.

You asked for it... Boisvert, Ritchie, Hemming, Artamonov, Hutson, Masse, Jecho, Iginla, Connelly, Jiricek, Chernyshov, Hage, Sennecke, Shuravin, Beaudoin, Bednarik, Emery, Freij, Gridin, Marques, Letourneau (because I can't find tape of him ANYWHERE), Luchanko, Zether, Muggli, Hynninen, Plante, Allard, Koivu, McCue, Whipple, Mustard, Zellers,

I think you're right, unless the Sharks grab him over Celebrini.
Far side glove is the cheat code in today’s nhl. Exciting prospect
THIS!!!
Welcome to Chicago
Exactly why i searched up this viddeo
Yessir!
You need Defence, he Will be mine.
He looks legit. Chicago SHOULD pick Demidov as Bedard's getting a little frustrated in Chicago. We have tons of D prospects already in our system and a couple young D on the team already.
@@Charlie-qe6lv hows he getting frustrated in chicago... hes 18 years old coming off a rookie season lol...
This guy feeding passes to bedard’s shot should be illegal
Caufield - Suzuki - Demidov , habs futur looking good
Do Tij Iginla, awesome video btw can’t wait for more 🔥
He's on the list! And thanks for watching!
Imagine Demidov and Oliver Moore skating circles around teams and setting up Bedsy !!!
If it wasn't for the Russian Factor he'd be the #1 or #2 draft pick this year.
what is it “russian factor”?
@@lillardzzRisk because sometimes russians stay in the KHL and never come to NA
It's nonsense, everyone comes and no one bothers.@@Kevin-qg2vs
He should be going 2nd but he’s going fall and whoever picks him will be laughing to the stage
Lucky whoever lands Demidov! So much talent!
and montreal might also pass on him as well just like they did to michikov im glad that im wrong
Great highlight video. I would be thrilled if the Habs were able to add Demidov to the team. We'll just have to wait and see what happens next summer.
What a pick up that would be! Never know with the "Russia" factor...he may slip a bit. Michkov???
@@nhldraftprosit'll be interesting to see if he falls, I wonder if the weakness of the Mhl will factor in at all.
It's tough for the Russia prospects...like you said MHL factor, not seeing them at international tournaments...how would Demidov do with more KHL ice time. Lots to consider. But this kid is an offensive dynamo...swing for the fences is what I would do.@@sylvanmw
@@nhldraftpros praying he falls to the habs, his upside is insane.
Would be extremely nice to land him!@@sylvanmw
Could you imagine a Bedard-Demidov duo 🤢
SICK!!!

would be nice, but it never happens. No ones trading down from #2.
Those crazy rumours are just to generate clicks on their page.... its ridiculous.
@@amnesiac494 We have top Ds to trade you know
As a Hawks fan, can’t help but see a little (or a lot) of Kaner in this kid. Especially his stickhandling and passing ability.
Just what the Habs needed GHG !!
Need my Sens to be picking #2 overall man. Demidov is going to be a superstar, and he'd be so nasty paired with Stutzle.
Lmao
lol
James hagens you should doo he is 2025 prospect and simelr to jack hughes
Hab🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Slaf and Demigod will cause some serious damage

Welcome to Montreal! 🙌🏿🎉
I’ve heard a lot of complaints about his skating…I don’t see it, what’s wrong with it? Maybe a bit unorthodox looking but he gets where he needs to go
As a habs fan it give me joys to see every hawk fans wanting him. Suck it
hey dont be mean we should thank them for passing on him we really needed a star badly
Where did the Michkov video go?
Had to remove it due to copyright from KHL.
Demidov and Bedard would be absolutely insane for the Blackhawks. Kane and Toews 2.0.
Reminds me of semin
LETS GOOOO
WOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

Blackhawk
This is who I want the Senators to draft if we can't get the defenceman from michigan state
Suggestion for video :
CARTER. YAKEMCHUK !!!
Haven’t found much videos on him.
And apparently the kid’s got
DISGUSTING HANDS
for a d-man
Sicko hands!
Blackhawks all th3 way!!!! 2nd pick overall
Was he playing centre or RW in the MHL?
Demidov’s stick handling, puck control and creativity are insane! The kid is a magician. Hawks better grab him to pair with Bedard!
Sorry Chicago, He’s a Habs!😂
Predicting the Columbus BlueJackets are going to add yet another Russian to their collection.
Would be a nice addition!
On offense, I see a lot of Peter Forsberg.
Roberto leonardo henriquez for 2025 ❤❤❤
Imagine him and Jack Hughes 🤤
The Habs are going to pick either Eiserman, Demidov or Lindstrom so it would be great if you can do those 3!!!
Not a bad problem to have!
damn shame he didnt get much icetime in the senior team
he was so fun to watch while he played
Yeah would have been nice to see what he could do against better quality of players!
HAB!
chicago
This kid (Demidov)
would be 1st overall in
many
MANY drafts !!!!!
He does have the talent!
Might end up best player of this draft.
I still think Celebrini will be a special player, but Demidov could be a huge offensive prospect out of this draft.
Henry Mews
Yup...on the list!
I think it would be cool if you made a video on an under the radar prospect that you’re a big fan of. Someone that’s a late 1st or even late rounder
I like this...I have a couple in mind. Will do that for sure! Thanks for watching!
Great video as always, luke misa would be awesome dudes so underrated
On the list and you are correct...underrated for sure!
Liam Greentree
Igor Chernyshov
Brunnicke
Yes to all!
a couple more besides the ones already mentioned in the comments, John Mustard, Tanner Howe, Yegor Surin, Veeti Vaisanen, Stian Solberg, Will Skahan, and Colton Roberts
im just mostly interested in the finnish prospects so as many of those if u can would be great hehe
Helenius, Hemming, Hiviharju, etc... on it!
Trevor Connelly plz
On the list!
Great video.... Greentree, Luchanko, Artamonov, Shuravin, O'Reilly, Traff, Mateiko, Freij, L. Pettersson, Badinka, and Siryatsky...would be interesting... Sorry most of these guys there is no film.....
Let’s see a Cayden Lindstrom
Yup he'll be coming up!
Can you look into Ben Steeves UMD Bulldogs player and top goal scorers in the NCAA but hes undrafted as a sophmore
Ivan Demidov, Welcome to Montreal! 🎉💙🤍❤️
Would be a nice pick up!
Buddy better start learning Chelsea Dagger
Basha, and Liam Greentree for reports please! love your content
They are on the list! Greentree a personal favourite! Thanks for watching!
Jack Lorence HS C out of Pennsylvania.
Demidov and Bedard are skilled but too small
Bedard was bullied this year both in NHL and IIHF worlds
They should go for the Big D or even Lidstrom Big Center
Big D wouldn't surprise me for them!
i wanto to see joona saarelainen
You should do one on Tomas Lavoie, I think he’ll be a huge steal this year. 1st overall pick in the Q 🦅
Big D from the Q...yes! I'll see if I can fit him in!
He’s not very high-profile but I’d love a scouting report on Hunter Brunicke
Good choice! Will add to list!
Lucas Fischer, Andrew Basha, Henry Mews, Tij Ignila
