Columbus may have made their choice with their 4th pick according to insider
We have just had a significant development involving Cayden Lindstrom, Ivan Demidov, and the Montreal Canadiens in anticipation of the 2024 NHL Draft.
A few days before the draft, journalist Corey Pronman, who is very well-informed, has just made a major statement.
Given that Artyom Levshunov really seems to be the Chicago Blackhawks' choice, and knowing that many experts believe Anton Silayev will be the Anaheim Ducks' pick, this is major for the Montreal Canadiens.
The Columbus Blue Jackets might not want to draft Ivan Demidov and their targets could be Cayden Lindstrom, Anton Silayev, and Beckett Sennecke
If the Blue Jackets indeed pass on Ivan Demidov, he would then fall to the 5th spot with Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens, which would be an incredible opportunity to add a young elite talent.
You understand that Pronman's final prediction sends Ivan Demidov to the Montreal Canadiens with the 5th overall pick.
Would you like to see this scenario come true? His full article can be found right here:
Regarding the young Demidov, let's remember that we learned yesterday morning that he is now 6 feet 1 inch tall, he communicates very well in English, and, most importantly, he is absolutely determined to play in the NHL.
These are extremely reassuring elements for teams like Montreal, and it practically removes all the little red flags that some might have had regarding Ivan Demidov.
We will finally have the answer in about a week, and we are extremely excited to see it unfold, live from Las Vegas. Stay tuned.
