“i can’t wait” : caufield is so eager to see ivan demidov

The arrival of Ivan Demidov in Montreal is really exciting.
This is for the organization, the players, the fans, the sports columnists, the journalists…
This is really exciting for everyone, at the bottom. Maybe except for the other teams in the NHL, hehe.
No kidding, the guys were excited in the locker room before the game against the Wings last night.
The club is winning… and it will be able to add a very good player with talent to its lineup, just before the playoffs. Hard to ask for more, right?
After the meeting yesterday, several guys shared their happiness about the news.
Cole Caufield said he “can’t wait” and is eager to see him arrive… while Monty confirmed what we thought: the guys were excited to learn the news.

Montembeault on Demidov:
«I’m looking forward to facing him in practice! I followed him this year and he’s very spectacular. The guys were really excited!»

For his part, Josh Anderson talks about all this as a confidence boost for the players in the locker room.
If this team is able to gain even more confidence… it could become dangerous.
Josh Anderson on Ivan Demidov signing with the Habs:
“Obviously some positive news today. You never know what’s gonna happen with the situation over there. It’s a confidence booster for the group. We’ve heard a lot of amazing things about him. We’re excited for him to join us.” pic.twitter.com/vvABPxYdWu

We all can’t wait to see Ivan Demidov in action because it’s been almost a year since we’ve been talking about him as the next thing in Montreal.
Everyone knows that Demidov has the talent to lead the Habs to glory and everyone knows that Demidov has the tools to become a dominant player in the National League.
Even his coach – who has benched him several times this season – agrees on this level!
This is also why, at the moment, there is a great atmosphere in the city when we talk about the Canadiens.
The club is about to get its ticket to the playoffs… and the club is also about to add to its roster the best player in the world who was not playing in the NHL.
What a time to be alive, as we say in English.
Overtime
– Speaking of the wolf.
“The off-ice doesn’t interest us Max. You and @jeantrudel83, you are paparazzi. It hurts the chances of seeing autonomous star players come play in MTL.” – Paul
…
“Hey Max, do you have Demidov’s flight number?” – this same Paul #Hypocrisy

– Interesting.
Canadiens have 11 forwards, 5 defensemen and 1 goalkeeper under contract for next year (Heineman and Struble are RFA and Roy does not have a guaranteed spot)
They currently have $20.9M in cap space and all that with 5 top 6 players (including Demidov) + 2 top pairs + #1 goalie under contract

– Anyway.
It would have been the third-highest average salary in history. https://t.co/4XYJAmFo24
