The Montreal Canadiens will step onto the stage in Las Vegas for their first pick at 5th overall. The name Ivan Demidov is prominently featured in discussions.

The talented prospect confirmed to media representatives that he will meet with the Canadiens organization and General Manager Kent Hughes on Thursday.

The Russian knows that the Tricolore is interested in his services and aims to prove that he is the right man for the job, if he remains available at 5th overall.

"Ivan Demidov will meet with Kent Hughes and the CH executives tomorrow in Vegas. He knows there is significant interest from Montreal.

Demidov speaks good English for a young player who has been learning it for just over a year."

- Jean-François Chaumont, NHL.com

Interesting! The Canadiens certainly want to confirm some things by speaking to him face-to-face. Ivan Demidov is clearly a highly coveted player by the CH, and now it's just a matter of confirming it.
