It's Finally Happening Today for Kent Hughes and Ivan Demidov
We mentioned it yesterday, but it's finally happening today for Kent Hughes and the young forward Ivan Demidov.
The head coach of the young Russian forward in the KHL, Roman Rotenberg, stated yesterday in an interview that there would be negotiations today with Kent Hughes about Demidov.
Well, here we are.
He didn't elaborate too much on the exact nature of these negotiations, but it seems to be significant.
«The people (from the Habs) showed respect by coming to us, flying across the world.
Tomorrow, we will have negotiations.»
Roman Rotenberg
This will undoubtedly be a major story to follow today, and rest assured, we'll keep you informed of every development regarding this matter.
Let's also recall that Kent Hughes and Vincent Lecavalier are currently over there to meet with Demidov and decide on the next steps.
Negotiations today between SKA and the Canadiens about young Ivan Demidov
As mentioned by the excellent Kevin Dubé from TVA Sports and the Journal, there will be «negotiations» between the Montreal Canadiens representatives currently in Russia and SKA Saint Petersburg today about Ivan Demidov.
This will thus be one of the major topics of the day.
This doesn't necessarily mean Kent Hughes will return to Montreal with Ivan Demidov, but clearly, they are working on optimizing the young player's development, as he is currently playing very little with SKA.
Demidov, 19 years old, has nonetheless managed to accumulate 20 points in 34 games this season.
