Ivan Demidov is a top prospect for the upcoming NHL draft, according to several experts. However, his situation is intriguing and somewhat worrying.

The Russian forward was not present at the Combine like all the other prospects listed in the top three rounds.
Several high-quality offensive players are available in the upcoming draft. In regards to the Canadiens, there has been considerable discussion about Cayden Lindstrom, Tij Iginla, Berkly Catton, Beckett Senecke, and also Ivan Demidov.
The Combine sparks many interesting discussions involving various teams, executives, youth prospect experts, and journalists.
According to remarks from the director of the well-known platform "Elite Prospects," many teams are concerned about drafting Ivan Demidov in the top 5.
Why? Primarily due to his contractual situation in Russia. Similar to Matvei Michkov last year, he has performed in the Russian junior league, but the level of competition is lower, making evaluation difficult.
Is this good news for the Canadiens, as Demidov could be available at the 5th pick, or is it rather a concerning case according to comments from some teams? Stay tuned...
