Ivan Demidov is the latest gem for the Montreal Canadiens. Although he still has a year left in Russia, fans are eager to see him in Quebec.
The Canadiens' prospect recently discussed his contract situation with a Russian media outlet. He is expected to join SKA in the KHL next season, but nothing is confirmed yet.
Demidov has expressed his readiness to play in the VHL, which is the junior league in Russia. However, this would not be ideal for his development.
Quickly, many Canadiens fans and even NHL supporters have voiced their dissatisfaction with the situation.
He needs to play with adults in the KHL, often considered the second-best professional league in the world. Therefore, Demidov must prove he has what it takes to play at this level before moving to North America.
