[Grant McCagg] I have a strange feeling that Demidov will drop to the Habs at five, and they will snap him up. If that happens…I would also love to see them land Yegor Surin. Two of my favourite Russian prospects in recent memory, and giving each of them a country mate to help with the adaptation

McMessiah has spoken. Give me Demidov or give me death!
Don’t give me hope
It’s very possible. Colombus could take Lindstrom after Chicago and Anaheim taking Ds. They would have the assurance from the Demidov camp that he would come over to NA next year for them to take him though.
Isn’t he generational?
My prediction is that both Demidov and Lindstrom fall to 5th and that the Habs decide to go for Lindstrom, which will in turn make this sub lose it’s shit. Then Arizona will pick Iginla or someone random as they like to do and Demidov will fall to the sens or even the Kraken. Probably the Kraken lol
Sennecke un au revoir, McCagg. Sennecke un au revooooiiiiiiiiiiiiir.
yes, yes please
Stop threatening me with a good time
This is the only thing that would disappoint me in this draft.
Actually that’s not true, because I have the utmost respect for the management of Canadiens, so, if they pick demidov, then I would assume my objections are misplaced, and it’s a good pick.
However, I don’t believe this sequence of events will unfold.
Columbus is the wild card. Apparently they want to add size so we can only hope.
I’d be ecstatic with Dickinson or Demidov
Surin is the steal of the draft. He has all the tools to become a star.
I pray to god that Anaheim or Colombus takes Linstrom and basically force Hughes to take Demidov.
Enough with the overthinking, its to a point where I wouldnt even be confident they would pick Celebrini at 1 if his name was Celebrinov.
The annoying thing would be to pick Senneck if Demidov/Lindstrom are available, annoying in the short term since none us know how this will all play out. But surely pick one of those 2 guys.
Been flipping a lot on this but I’ve decided I’m fine with either Lindstrom or Demidov. Before it was Demidov all the way, but quality of competition concerns can’t be ignored.
I hope too. Not sure about Surin.
IIRC he was one of the few who called out Slafkovsky to be picked 1st OA two years ago.
2022, we pick slaf (I wanted Cooley for offensive upside)
Turns out slaf is on pace to become a menace
2023, we pick Reinbacher (like many fans I wanted Michkov)
We don’t know yet but it’s true that Reinbacher fills a big need on the right side
2024, I hope we go for some kind of offensive upside if available. Demidov or Catton (is he a big reach at 5?)
We simply can’t rely on signing or trading for this type of player. Gotta draft one at some point if it’s on a silver platter.
