And the Montreal Canadiens drafted him at #5

[michelmarcotte]

Enfin! Enfin nous l'avons! Un joueur avec un très grand talent. Que Dieu le bénisse et le protège.

[Hejirah]

I've seen that a full vid on him (this short doesn't do him justice really) and he's something I've never seen before, like even among pro players.
Defo look forward to to seeing him in the NHL.

[deandunn-qo]

Ya Baby!!! I can't get over that we got him...

[TheRealJosh-IYKYK]

Scouts are saying hes actually more talented than Matvei Michkov which is insane.

[micheltessier]

# 5 draft picks have been good for Le Canadien de Montreal so far. Can’t wait to see him play 😊

[EvanSullivan-zm]

Dude is a beast he reminds me of Patty Kane a winger with good handles

[uncledamfeeftw]

Chicago was stupid not to draft him #2 Overall. I'm ecstatic with Celebrini, but man Demidov is a serious talent.

[Habslover]

This kid's hands are INSANE! I can't believe 3 teams passed him up, i can maybe see taking Celebrini first, I guess... lol, but 3 teams passed on this guy!! That's crazy to me, reminds me of when we got Caufield at 15, we almost got Eiserman at 21 too, he went the pick before us, im not sure i could have taken that much good in one draft anyway, my head probably would have exploded! lol.

[Pariah_Larry]

Still wish the Hawks would’ve taken him. I know they tried. Hard to be depressed when I remember they won the Bedard lottery. Artyom is gonna be a great defenseman and I really like Mustard and the rest of their picks. They got an A for a reason. I’m just happy Montreal got Demidov instead of Anaheim or the Blue Jackets.

So Demidov versus Michkov?
Which one is better?

[grekounas]

How'd he slip to 5? As a Habs fan, that makes me happy.

[nilsbrown]

How TF did we get him?? Somebody please explain..?

[Stephen]

I cant wait for him to get to montreal

[mastersmmaandfitness]

In other words he is the better version of bedard, real generational talent

[NoRoids_JustRage]

Demidov and Bedard are going to be unreal

[HabsAndHeavyMetal]

Maybe, just maybe a generational player to the habs. ie. Lafleur.

[Taooflu]

His shot makes me think of a Bedard but a leftie

[Derek_Reynolds]

Hyped to have him on mtl. Would be great to see him on the same line at Cole

[ylyuun]

Team was absolutely holding him down today vs Traktor. Got a nice little deke in though
