As the 2024 NHL Draft approaches, new information has emerged regarding Kent Hughes and the Montreal Canadiens' fifth overall pick.

Kent Hughes appears to favor Ivan Demidov for the fifth pick, despite experts predominantly predicting him for the Canadiens.
Observers like Corey Pronman and Scott Wheeler also place Demidov at the top of Hughes' list for this crucial selection.
Interest in Demidov is such that Chicago seems to be leaning towards another player, potentially leaving Montreal free to select him.
Demidov, often compared to high-caliber players like Jack Hughes, Kirill Kaprizov, and Nikita Kucherov, stands out for his hockey IQ, agility, and shot, and he continues to hone his skills.
"Even though Demidov says he has no idol in the NHL, there are players he likes to watch and whose style he believes he plays similarly to: Jack Hughes, Kirill Kaprizov, and Nikita Kucherov.

He takes pride in his hockey IQ, agility, and shot, while aiming to become more explosive and refine his skills," -THN.

Demidov's arrival could mark a major turning point in the rebuild led by Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton, offering the Canadiens a unique opportunity to add exceptional talent to their roster, potentially surpassing prospects like Matvei Michkov.
The final confirmation will take place in a week in Las Vegas during the draft.
