Ivan Demidov’s name is starting to circulate more and more in Montreal.
We don’t know what will happen in selections #2 to #4…
But the popular observation right now is this: Demidov could slide all the way to #5, an idea that will please many Habs fans.
The choices haven’t been made yet, but that doesn’t mean the GMs aren’t talking.
Grant McCagg, who has plugs in the NHL, says he’s “hearing things”…
And that Demidov might actually be available when the Habs have to make their 5th-round pick :
I’m hearing things.
I’m hearing (from several sources) that Chicago might take Levshunov at #2… And we’re hearing about Silayev at #3. – Grant McCagg
McCagg adds…
Because according to him(Sick Podcast), it’s no coincidence that Cayden Lindstrom and Beckett Sennecke went to dinner with the Blue Jackets, who will be talking at #4 :

It’s often said, but it will all depend on the decisions made by the clubs before the Habs.
Macklin Celebrini will – without a doubt – be the first overall pick in the next draft…
But after that, it’s all a blur.
We’ll hear different things between now and June 28, and that’s how it is every year.
On the other hand, the name of Ivan Demidov(who may not play in the KHL next year) is making more and more noise in town at the moment, and that makes sense in a way, because if he’s available, he’ll fill the needs of Kent Hughes and the Habs.
After all, the Habs GM is looking to add a talented forward to his lineup and Demidov is the perfect guy to make that happen.
He’s seen as an offensive player with the potential to be a star in the NHL…
And if Kent Hughes can get his hands on him at No. 5, it could have a positive impact on what happens next.
Overtime
– Good.
