According to The Athletic's Scott Wheeler, he is set to be one of the best wingers in the NHL, when he reaches his prime.
Much like we heard last year about Matvei Michkov in the 2023 draft, Demidov his teammate may be all of that and more. He and Michkov played together during the 2021-2022 season.
Unlike Michkov it seems that Demidov will not be dropping in the draft, but will be just as coveted.
In the MHL, Demidov played 30 games, with SKA-1946 St. Petersburg, posting 60 points( 23 G, 37 A) just below the 2nd best hockey league in the world.
