I was not comparing kotkaniemi to demidov sorry for the confusion I was comparing kotkaniemi to a high pick in the draft who didn't perform as expected. I was saying demidov has the chance to be a bust. Not saying he is going to be one but always a chance.
My friend, this is where you are wrong. There is not always a chance at being a bust. Wayne Gretzky had no chance of being a bust. Sydney Crosby had no chance of being a bust, I could go on and on. Demidov has zero chance at being a bust. Look at him play. Maybe he gets horribly injured or killed or something but there's no chance of him being a bust. If you can't tell he'd be a star RIGHT NOW, a point per game guy in the NHL you need to look at the tape again
I understood what u meant, and there IS always a chance of any player being a bust, even Gretz, and Crosby, just because a player can score 200 goals in pee-wee doesn't mean he's going to get to the NHL and be able to handle the size and speed of the other players, injuries and just fear can do a lot to players. There have been many players who were young and who were expected to make the NHL and to kill it in the NHL, and they either never made it, or made it and couldnt cut it. Dont let people get to you, everyone's an expert! lol. Thanks for the video man.
@@toddlauretteHabsforlife god this is a dumb post. Of course someones peewee numbers don't mean they will be a NHL player but when they get to the point of playing in the top leagues in the world you can tell. Not all the time, and not every year and very few players. But if you don't think there aren't sure things, first overalls guaranteed not to be a bust your either an idiot or you don't know much about sports
i mean jesperi was classed like 10th rank in the most optimistic list of other scout in nhl and was not playing in a league as much competitive as the khl...mtl just made a really bad decision there, a lot of team had demidov in high esteem but were afraid of the russian factor i think so.could end up being a bust we all know mtl luck with talented player but i think demidov had already proven he can play and produce in a competitive league even if this league is weaker than nhl or ahl but at least he is playing against full grown man,some ex nhl players with experience.not a garanted success but it's a good starting point compared to a fresh out of junior joining nhl,time will tell but if mtl manage well his devlopment in the next few years we will have a really good top 6 player imo
I noticed post editing that on the third goal the pass might have been a little off so demidov might not have been able to even do a one timer but nonetheless the goal there still shows his quick thinking and ability to make a seriously dangerous play. (also yes kotkaniemi had 27 points in 79 games lol)
@ I would say any Russian player is over rated because their league is less superior the the leagues NHL players like Sidney Crosby and Connor McDavid have come from, they might be doing well now but their going to absolutely bomb in the future.
@@rdspencer147how tf does that make sense just bc they’re russian? ovi is the greatest goal scorer of all time and he’s russian, demidov is leading the second best league in the sport in points per 60 he’s gonna be great
@@rdspencer147 Are you saying the KHL is inferior to the QMJHL ? Because thats where Crosby comes from 🤔🤣the KHL is the 2nd best hockey league in the world better than the AHL

There is no chance this dude is a bust. None.

Imagine comparing Demidov to KK lol
Why is that not a valid comparison?
@@meller7303 KK was never a top 10 pick ,had zero offensive talent, couldn't skate, couldn't move in traffic. No comparison
My bad by KK I was thinking Karill Kaprizov, because that’s actually a good comparison
@@meller7303 ah ok lol
wow 👌 kk is something else Demigod is a savage
S’il vous plaît Jésus…🙏🏻😉
It is litteraly impossible that Demidov becomes a bust. 0% chance.
''We Have NEVER Seen an NHL Prospect Like Him Before....'' Calm down... and I'm a habs fan.
over rated period
Would u say Matvei Michkov over rated?
Are you talking about your wee wee
