Here are Ivan Demidov’s NHL 25 odds
Fans of NHL 25 haven’t yet had the chance to play with Ivan Demidov in the game.
And the reason is simple.
EA Sports had not yet created his character, since Demidov was playing in Russia. KHL players are not in the game, nor are NCAA players.
But EA Sports today revealed Ivan Demidov’s rating – and those of Zeeb Buium and Quinn Hutson.
Lane’s brother has a rating of 75, Buium’s is at 80… and Demidov has a rating of 83.
That’s not bad for a guy who’s played two regular-season games in his NHL career.

I was curious, so I turned on my PlayStation to check the ratings of the other Canadiens players.
And to my surprise, Nick Suzuki still hasn’t reached 90, despite his really interesting season.
Besides Suzuki, Cole Caufield (88), Juraj Slafkovsky (85), Jake Evans (84) and Patrik Laine (85) are the CH’s best forwards in the game :

And on defense, Lane Hutson (86) is on the verge of overtaking Mike Matheson (87).
That said, EA Sports still thinks Arber Xhekaj’s place has been earned in the lineup… and we don’t see Struble :

Samuel Montembeault has a rating of 84. Jakub Dobes’ climbs to 79.
But no matter: it’s still special to see that Demidov is already one of the Canadiens’ forwards at NHL 25 despite the fact that he has little experience.
Everyone knows he’s a great talent… and obviously, the game’s developers know it too.
So much the better!
And those who want to use Demidov in the game will now be able to do so, which is good news too.

– He’s good.
15 Year old Landon Dupont had 60 points in 64 games as defenceman.
The future is bright for this kid.
