The organization piqued the curiosity of many by posting a photo of a mysterious briefcase and asking fans, "What's hiding in this briefcase?"
Here's the post in question:
It's probably nothing too significant, but still, it didn't take much to spark a wave of reactions and hope on social media.
The post quickly generated numerous comments from fans hoping that the mysterious briefcase contains a contract for Ivan Demidov, who has been struggling in the KHL since the start of the season.
Most of the comments under the post talk about the much-anticipated contract for Ivan Demidov, but unfortunately, that's most likely not the case.
Let's remember that, since the start of the season, Ivan Demidov has almost always been the 13th forward and plays barely 3-4 minutes per game, which is absolutely ridiculous and obviously terrible for his development.
Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton probably want him to come to Montreal (or Laval) as much as the rest of us, but with his KHL contract, it's not that simple.
This is definitely a situation to watch closely.
As for this mysterious post by the Montreal Canadiens, as we mentioned, it's likely nothing important, but this little episode shows just how much everyone is eager for Ivan Demidov to finally make the jump across the Atlantic.
