With the fifth pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, the Montreal Canadiens have selected the player they’ve been heavily linked to for several weeks, forward Ivan Demidov.
The forward played most of his draft season in the Russian Junior league, posting an impressive 60 points in 30 games. He’s both a playmaker and a goal-scorer, just the dynamic offensive threat the Canadiens are looking to add to their mix.
We will have more on Demidov soon. In the meantime, you can read the draft profile we published on him at the first of the week, and our mock draft article in which we also chose him at fifth overall.
