We just witnessed a striking scene for everyone who has questions about Ivan Demidov's arrival with the Montreal Canadiens. Some still have doubts, some fear that Demidov will remain in the KHL next year and extend with SKA, but a video has just surfaced and says a lot about his current state of mind.
It seems pretty clear that Demidov is eager for things to wrap up over there.
Let's remember that his team, SKA St. Petersburg, began their playoff series yesterday against Dynamo Moscow, and Demidov only played four short minutes in that first playoff game for him in the KHL.
Yes, we're talking about SKA's top scorer here!
A significant scene involving Ivan Demidov before the game: an interview that speaks volumes about his current mindset-and it's sad to see
As many observers have pointed out, a pregame interview given by Demidov (and posted online) has sparked a lot of reactions.
Demidov truly seems fed up (understandably so), and he really looks like a young man who's extremely eager to move on to the next chapter.
"It's time he gets out of there as soon as possible!
The Canadiens can't be happy with what's going on with Demidov.
We're far from the smiling young man we saw at the draft.."

Watching that interview, I truly believe there's real hope of seeing Ivan Demidov sign with the Montreal Canadiens as early as this year.
Ivan Demidov will play for the Habs in 2025: it really seems like just a matter of time
There's every expectation that Demidov will sign with the Habs sometime in June, as his contract with SKA ends on May 31, 2025. This exclusive interview gives us, for a very rare time, a true glimpse into Demidov's current mindset.
He gave short answers and showed little enthusiasm-so much so that the journalist asking the questions ended by saying Demidov seemed very focused on his game.
The wait is almost over for Montreal!
