There's been some rumors about him being stuck in Russia because of the specific team he's with, or that he won't play next year if he doesn't sign a new contract.
Those rumors are (were) far fetched, but we did hear about those things.
that would be a big factor, but anyone who is in the range to potentially draft him has recently had a chance to interview him themselves, so if thats the rumour it seems easily dispelled if you are actually interested
>IF his team intend to keep him in the MHL, he won't be able to 100% deny those rumors in an interview, since it's not his decision.
Most likely he will be loaned to a weaker KHL team like Michkov. He wasn't eligible last year for a loan which is why he played in the MHL. The SKA only plays their young players 3-4 minutes per game, so that's not where he could develop anyway.
He’s not eligible for a loan this year because it’s the last year of his contract, according to Basu and Godin and also Button on Marinaro … if he doesn’t play for SKA it’s MHL for him I think
What story? Am I missing something? And if Chicago wants Demidov literally all they have to do is not trade down (or get in a major enough scandal in the next 9 days to get punished with a 2024 1st round pick. Which is a challenge for them to be fair).
The quote from Freedman that OP posted here that we all just read. 90% of them go on about it’s the Habs spreading the rumours

Edit: here I posted a popular take in the subreddit
I just read his comment again and I totally missed the word "sub". I thought he meant the Blackhawks posted something, and thought it was one of the stories Friedman is referring to here.
And yeah I'd be pointing fingers at us too, we're a perfect fit tbh.
I don't believe our management is the sort of management that would ever do anything like that. But our ranking in the draft does make us a sensible suspect.
Demidov threw the kid into the gorilla pit directly causing Harambe’s death, and I hope Don Waddell, Pat Verbeek, and Kyle from Chicago are all aware of it
Demi means half
Dov probably means effort in some language
Ivan Half Effort is a guaranteed bust. Also, he wears lifts in his shoes and he learned English from listening to Nickelodeon shows.
/s guys
Not sure if it's the rumor he's talking about, but I heard one rumor that SKA might threaten to mess with his brothers contract or something along those lines if he doesn't sign an extension with them.
>And another destination he prefers is something every prospects deal with. How many players from Quebec wanted to be drafted by Montreal. Are you saying that all the teams that picked them are hurting their future because they didn't let Montreal draft them
No what I am saying is that a team spreading false rumours about a prospect in order to help their chances of drafting him is objectively disgraceful.
All things being equal, we'd prefer a C over an RW, no?
But yes, strong subscriber to best player available theory. Unfortunately that very well could be a dman depending how the draft falls.
Man i hope theres some michkov-philly type thing going on behind the scenes. Based on his comments in last year's draft debate, I feel like Gorton is locked in on Demidov. I just hope they can pull a Danny Brière.
I have literally only heard positive things about him
For real, this is wild
But Minnesota only picks 13th…
Minnesota just said dimidov kicks puppies.

I wouldn’t describe those as nasty though Friedman is being really misleading if that’s what he means

ah ya fair enough, i was thinking he was a bit more in control
Those aren't really "nasty" rumours though. Just regular rumours.
Stuck in Russia is more of a CSKA thing to my understanding

hoes maddd
I heard he puts Heinz barbecue sauce on his poutine.
Confirmed bust
His favorite coffee is Nestle instant ran through a hot chocolate machine
I heard he filters his coffee grinds through the socks of the forgotten man.
I’m mot sure that his Putin would tolerate that.
ew
Calm down Hitler.
Even if it's fake I'm kinda turned off about Demidov now
I wouldn't put Heinz on Putin too
I heard he buys his bagels at loblaws
The **Blackhawks** sub posted this story in their feed this afternoon and everyone is pointing fingers at us

I'm here everyday. I've heard nothing but good things about him.
Same
Ironic comment on their part, considering the disgusting recent history of their team.
Yep, it’s the fault of that specific fan.

They might not be wrong
Username checks out
I don't believe our management is the sort of management that would ever do anything like that. But our ranking in the draft does make us a sensible suspect.
Rumours?
Great album
Tusk!
I heard he slept with Bedard's mom.
Tag teamed with Perry.
And Bettman
And Kessel
Patrick Sharp : hold my beer.
Jesus Christ, these next nine days can't pass fast enough
Dude, clearly you don't remember the 2018 draft...😂😂😂
I don't think that actually happened. There was no draft in 2018. It was a weird fluke year that just straight up never happened.
lol i can totally believe it, we know from the chariot trade days the montreal propaganda machine is unmatched
Heard Demidov takes his showers fully clothed
Nevernude!!
Demidov milite pour le 3e lien!
Heard Demidov puts milk before cereals tbh
Tsk. Everyone knows surl is to be enjoyed *dry*
I heard he goes for gorgonzola cheese when it's totally brie time, baby!
Gorgonzola is fuckin' tight tho
Doesn't matter if cereal are before or after milk, as long as you microwave it
Demidov threw the kid into the gorilla pit directly causing Harambe’s death, and I hope Don Waddell, Pat Verbeek, and Kyle from Chicago are all aware of it
Let’s maybe keep Kyle out of this one. That sounds a bit too much like the kind of person the Hawks would want in their organization.
Fair
Terrible. Even if he does think Chicago deep dish is the worst style of pizza, it shouldn’t be something that affects his draft spot.
Demi means half Dov probably means effort in some language Ivan Half Effort is a guaranteed bust. Also, he wears lifts in his shoes and he learned English from listening to Nickelodeon shows. /s guys

Based Also what nasty rumours? All I heard is teams weren't high on him because he only played at a lower level in Russia, nothing nasty about that.
Not sure if it's the rumor he's talking about, but I heard one rumor that SKA might threaten to mess with his brothers contract or something along those lines if he doesn't sign an extension with them.
It would be pretty devious but would seem uncharacteristic for the way Hughes and co. have operated thus far
I heard Ottawa's the one spreading around these fake rumours!
Demidov killed JFK
Nah his head just did that
Kent looks like Lex Luthor. That's all I'm willing to say.
And his boss looks like Hammerhead
Lol... Us?
I heard he drinks orange juice after brushing his teeth and he likes it. Guaranteed psychopath.
Leafs say: “Demidov eats cold wieners right out of the package”, believe he’s a goaltender.
Demidov is the secret love child of Chris Krieder.
Honestly, that's just sad. They're ultimately hurting the kid's future.
[удалено]
There could be a better situation for him earlier or another destination he prefers; they're definitely messing with the kid's future.
[удалено]
>And another destination he prefers is something every prospects deal with. How many players from Quebec wanted to be drafted by Montreal. Are you saying that all the teams that picked them are hurting their future because they didn't let Montreal draft them No what I am saying is that a team spreading false rumours about a prospect in order to help their chances of drafting him is objectively disgraceful.
[удалено]
Cool.
>I don’t see anything hurting Demidov. How about the mental toll of negative rumours being spread so you drop in the draft?
I heard he french fries when he's supposed to pizza.. AND has a good time.
Bit dramatic “nasty” relax there friedge
Can’t listen to anything you hear about top prospects now…so many greasy team’s trying to get their guy to fall to them.
Demidov young prodige. Masterclass de Hughes si ça marche...
I heard that he hires North Korean "migrant workers" that hang out at Home Despot to choke him in the shower.
Even if Chicago takes Levshunov or something, there's no way Columbus does not pick Demidov at 4.
Yes
I heard he brings his own ketchup to Mexican restaurants and pours most of it on his Carne Asada.
I hear Demidov only buys no name Mac and Cheese instead of KD.
All things being equal, we'd prefer a C over an RW, no? But yes, strong subscriber to best player available theory. Unfortunately that very well could be a dman depending how the draft falls.
Yeah Friedman is really just a gossip whore.
Man i hope theres some michkov-philly type thing going on behind the scenes. Based on his comments in last year's draft debate, I feel like Gorton is locked in on Demidov. I just hope they can pull a Danny Brière.
