He, who is probably the world's most renowned expert in terms of evaluating young NHL prospects, has just ranked Ivan Demidov as already one of the top three prospects in the entire National Hockey League!

«It's not just his great talent that makes Wheeler rank him high on his list of 2024 draft prospects. His physical maturity, his play without the puck, and the way he battles on the ice are factors to consider.

In fact, in his eyes, Demidov is a star with more skills with the puck than Macklin Celebrini. That doesn't mean he's better, just that with the puck, he is more talented.» - Charles-Alexis Brisebois

Wheeler doesn't stop there. He mentions that Ivan Demidov is already one of the top three prospects in the world, along with Macklin Celebrini and Matvei Michkov.

We shouldn't put too much pressure on young Demidov, but at the same time, it's been so long since the Montreal Canadiens had such good young players as they do now, so it's certainly encouraging.
