The Montreal Canadiens have a new top priority — getting Ivan Demidov under contract.
In this episode, Shaun Starr and Marco D’Amico break down why Demidov is the next major piece of business for Kent Hughes and the Habs front office. After a dominant season, how does Demidov’s production stack up against Lane Hutson’s Calder-worthy rookie campaign from last year?
We dive into:
Demidov’s season and trajectory
How his numbers compare to Lane Hutson’s breakout year
What kind of contract Demidov could command
NHL comparables for young elite forwards signing their second deals
Key timelines and important dates for the Canadiens to get a deal done
Will Demidov follow the same path as Hutson, or are we looking at a completely different type of contract and negotiation?
This is a crucial moment in the Canadiens rebuild — and locking up Demidov could shape the future of this team.
