Ivan Demidov is eager to play for the Montreal Canadiens

Ivan Demidov is the best prospect for the Canadiens in a long time.

Canadiens fans are eagerly awaiting him as he has the potential to make a difference in Montreal.

This will happen at the beginning of the next season, barring any changes.

On this subject, Bob Hartley, who has his contacts in Russia, stated that people close to the prospect reported this to him: Ivan Demidov is looking forward to joining the NHL and playing for the Canadiens.

Obviously, its not exactly surprising since we know that the main interested party has always been very open to the possibility of joining the NHL primarily with the Canadiens, who drafted him.

But its good to be reminded of this in light of his recent successes in the KHL.

For the past few weeks, since the Canadiens executives visited Russia, there has been a sense that the Russian is on another level in terms of results.

He has taken off and its working.

The visit from the Canadiens management in Russia before Christmas has clearly helped Ivan Demidov pic.twitter.com/9jobJU3GPm LAntichambre (@Antichambre) January 30, 2025 We dont know if Kent Hughes found the words to convince SKA to give him more playing time or if he simply restored Demidovs confidence, but the results are there.

This shows, in any case, that Hughes impact on Demidov is indeed real.

Lets remember that it would be very surprising for the stars to align to allow Demidov to finish the season in Montreal.

But be that as it may, he will arrive next season and that will be perfectly fine.

And from there, watch out.

With Lane Hutson on the power play, it could cause some damage...

In brief Not surprising.

For the first time, both minor teams of the Canadiens, namely the Laval Rocket and the Trois-Rivieres Lions, are at the top of their divisions.

Both teams are also in first place in their leagues for the percentage of points earned.

Quite a season for...
