Demidov, often compared to high-caliber players like Jack Hughes, Kirill Kaprizov, and Nikita Kucherov, stands out for his hockey IQ, agility, and shot, and he continues to hone his skills.
"Even though Demidov says he has no idol in the NHL, there are players he likes to watch and whose style he believes he plays similarly to: Jack Hughes, Kirill Kaprizov, and Nikita Kucherov.
He takes pride in his hockey IQ, agility, and shot, while aiming to become more explosive and refine his skills," -THN.
Demidov's arrival could mark a major turning point in the rebuild led by Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton, offering the Canadiens a unique opportunity to add exceptional talent to their roster, potentially surpassing prospects like Matvei Michkov.
