Unfortunately, even though he would love to be there, he will not be able to attend the Canadiens' rookie development camp.
This is what he confirmed to journalists a few minutes after being selected by Montreal.
It's a shame because we would have loved to see him, but honestly, it's not a big deal.
Simply seeing how happy young Demidov was to be drafted by the Montreal Canadiens meant everything.
This is just a postponement, and we will have plenty of other opportunities in the future to see him in the Canadiens' uniform.
What a selection, what an acquisition!
This could truly change everything for the Canadiens, being able to get such a talented player.
Demidov, 18 years old, is a 6-foot, 190-pound winger. He amassed 60 points in 30 games this season in St. Petersburg. He has one more season to play there, and then he will immediately join Martin St-Louis's lineup.
It looks promising!
As we reported earlier, Ivan Demidov also announced when he intends to come to North America and join the Montreal Canadiens.
His intentions are 100% clear. He wants to come to Montreal as soon as possible.
Details will follow.
