Shocking details about Ivan Demidov's future with Montreal Canadiens revealed
There are indications from an insider within the league that Ivan Demidov is set to debut in the NHL with the Canadiens next year.
Montreal Canadiens fans eagerly anticipate the day they witness Demidov tear it up on the ice for their team, and that day may arrive sooner than anticipated. Originally slated to fulfill another year of his contract in Russia, recent developments in the relationship between the KHL and the Russian Hockey Federation could expedite Demidov's transition to the NHL.
I'm no insider, but I have it on good authority, and from a very reliable source that #GoHabsGo prospect Ivan «The Great» Demidov will be with the #Habs organization by next year!!! @HabsUnfiltered
The KHL has severed ties with the Russian Hockey Federation, gaining more autonomy over its operations. The league has announced its commitment to honoring contracts Russian players hold with international teams, but will now negotiate financial terms that could release players from existing obligations, facilitating earlier transitions to North America.
While new rules may potentially enable players like Demidov to arrive in North America sooner, it doesn't guarantee he will immediately join the Habs. Some fans remain skeptical about his performance.
Trying to get caught up on report requests! I've had some people reach out to tell me Ivan Demidov lacks high end skating ability - He's no Pavel Bure in open ice but he's plenty fast enough - powers to the net - shields opponents - and possesses fantastic puck touch! 👇
No matter when Demidov takes the ice for the Habs, fans can rest assured that their team has secured a true talent.
