I think I will be paying close attention to this player no matter where he goes. What a uniquely exciting prospect, especially if it translates (he's been playing against lower competition Russia). It really seems like his TALENT might be generational in a very true sense, and the way he plays hockey is like something you've never seen.

Also a good podcast on the Top playmakers in this draft, worth a listen to with takes on the players from a slightly different angle.

But wow, Demidov looks like he might be special if he figures out the NHL.

This whole time I've always thought Demidov was the clear number 2 in this draft, and there wasn't a significant gap between him and Celebrini. It's position that separates them. Same tier prospect, then a gap to everyone else.
