Ivan Demidov, tailor-made for the Montreal market (according to his agent)

After the lottery, we'll have a better idea of ​​what's in store for the Hubs next draft.

And this is the same…

Because the lottery is tomorrow!

By the way, Anthony Martino (TVA Sports) is doing a great job as he's been talking to some of the top prospects leading up to the draft.

He's met a few guys that could be of particular interest to the Habs next project…

And today, the journalist published an excellent text revealing that Ivan Demidov had a conversation with his agent.

Dan Milstein (Demidov's agent) wasn't against it… But he explained that his client has the mentality to thrive in a market like Montreal.

He describes him in the article as “the most talented prospect in the upcoming draft” … And he describes him as a big personality:

He would be an instant fan favorite. He has the personality to deal with the pressures of a market like Montreal. And he understands what it means to play in such a place. – Dan Milstein

Demidov needs a little miracle to land in Montreal.

He's seen by many as the logical second pick in the draft… And if things stay as they are and the Hubs talk at No. 5, he won't be available again.

However, we know the hubs love it and would climb up to the plate to pick it up:

The project, as we know it, is far from an exact science.

This is a great time to explore the lists of various experts…

One thing that really intrigues me when I look at Scott Wheeler (The Athletic) and Bob McKenzie's (TSN) list is that there are a lot of quarterbacks in the top 10.

The next crop promises to be very talented, and this one is different from other years because there are as many good forwards as there are good defenders.

This allows all clubs to get what they need, but it also assumes that there will be a lot of transactions. in the project.

Some teams need a forward more than others, for example…. Looks like the Habs are getting ready to draft a guy who can help the team offensively long term.

Internally

– What do you think?

– Although Barkov is offensive, I like the comparison.

– Still!

– Canucks are hungry.
