Ivan Demidov announces the exact moment when he will play for the Canadiens
Forward Ivan Demidov, the 5th overall pick by the Montreal Canadiens in the 2024 draft in Las Vegas, has just made an important announcement.
An announcement that we love.
There is absolutely no doubt for him. He will come to North America and join the Montreal Canadiens lineup immediately after his KHL contract.
Ivan Demidov with the Montreal Canadiens in a year
The wait won't be too long, and we love it! Demidov is expected to be a regular player for the Tricolore starting at the beginning of the 2025-2026 season. (not next season, but the one after)
«Ivan Demidov says he will come to North America once his KHL contract is over - he still has one year left on his contract with SKA Saint Petersburg.» - Priyanta Emrith
Wow!
Ivan Demidov in an interview with TVA Sports: «Do you want to come to Montreal directly after your contract?»
His answer... «Yeah»
That deserves to be clear!
Via BPM Sports:
We can't wait to see him in the Blue-White-Red uniform! He's quite a hockey player who has just joined the Montreal Canadiens organization.
Hats off to Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton for this pick.
We have rarely seen a draft pick so unanimously praised as this one, and to top it off, it was announced by none other than the great Céline Dion.
A Hollywood scenario for Habs fans, live from Las Vegas.
