The rumor involving the Canadiens is confirmed as Daniel Brière has succeeded
We officially have a verdict for Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens, and it does not align with Daniel Brière and the Philadelphia Flyers.
As we saw yesterday, Michkov arrived on American soil and will play with the Flyers this upcoming season.
According to what SKA head coach Roman Rotenberg just mentioned, Ivan Demidov will play in the KHL for the 2024-25 season.
This means that, unlike Daniel Brière and the Flyers with Matvei Michkov, Kent Hughes has not managed to bring Ivan Demidov to North America this season. (Which is far from a big deal, by the way.)
We will simply have to be a bit more patient before seeing Ivan Demidov don the Canadiens uniform.
It's confirmed: Ivan Demidov with SKA in 2024-25
The Canadiens and SKA have just held an important meeting on this matter.
There have been numerous reactions following this discovery by *HabsOnreddit* from Rotenberg's interview:
If he gets quality playing time in a top-6 role there, it will be excellent for his development. A good step up!
Many were hoping to see him land in North America, but optimal use in the KHL remains one of the best possible scenarios for his progression! »

- Marc Antoine Godin
In any case, we simply wish a solid development season for young Ivan Demidov, who could be such a huge piece of the Montreal Canadiens organization over the next 10-15 years.
The important thing is really the development and happiness of Demidov at the moment.
