I don't think the difference between Celebrini & Demidov is big at all. They're much closer to being equal than #3 is to Demidov.
Similar situation as last year. Michkov's numbers are as elite and generational as they have come in the last decade, and he was the only prospect who was even in the same conversation as Bedard. Philly is going to be reaping those rewards for 10+ years.
Demidov is right there in the same conversation as Michkov. Many scouts argue he's better. That would be absolutely nuts if that's the case.
He's right there with Celebrini. Perhaps even better. Just doesn't have the positional, size, and nationality arguments that Celebrini does.
