My guess if Lidstrom / Demidov are both gone (likely), they will go with Catton or Sennecke (Iginla is the outside chance).

While it's always a risk... top Russian players usually end up coming to North America.

I'm not really worried about it. The wasted year in the MHL would suck but it wouldn't ruin his career either.

- Scabeh


Habs are in no rush, and unlike Michkov, I have only heard positive things about Demidov.

But he will be gone by #5, so no point in worrying.

oh he is coming over, most likely in 2025, could slide to 2026 if he has to do military service.

Military service isn't a big deal. They all do it over several years month by month in the offseason. Same with the Finns and Swiss players.

Aside from him and Rask, nobody has ever had an issue to my knowledge.

I know, like I said he will be coming over, it's just of question of when. I would guess end of March 2025 when his contract with SKA ends.

I am hoping he slides to 5th but I have some doubts. Only way it happens is if Lindstrom and another D (outside of Levshunov) get picked in the top 4.

I have him higher than alot of people but I really love his high end skill. I think he's a guy that's been nickpicked way too much in the last year.

I think if he does drop in the the teens during the draft, someone will be very happy to grab such a talent at that rank. Just like the Habs with Caufield.

Kid is 17 and 2 weeks from being in the 2025 draft. The scrutiny on him is really strange.

Habs took him for dinner at the combine....

They took 3 players, Lindstrom, Dikcenson and Eiserman I heard.

Most say he is the #2 talent in this draft, if not Russian, he would not slip.

Let's see who those NHL teams (Chi, Ana and CLB) go with next week.
