On TVA Sports, just before the game between the Montreal Canadiens and the Ottawa Senators, journalist Renaud Lavoie had some breaking news. We're obviously talking about new information regarding young Ivan Demidov!
According to the information he obtained-and as we mentioned a bit earlier today-the Canadiens are currently letting him acclimate to his new country and time zone.
A presentation that will ultimately have to wait for Ivan Demidov
Here's an excerpt from his comments:
"First of all, it's very important that he gets used to the time difference.
That's the priority. We can't put him in the lineup before he's adjusted to what he'll be experiencing in the coming days, because right now, he's in Toronto, waiting for the team at the Canadiens' hotel..
From what I've been told, he won't speak to the media tomorrow. You know how we talked about a press conference with general manager Kent Hughes?
Well, everything indicates that it should happen on Monday!"

It really looks like Monday is going to be a big day for young Demidov.
Renaud Lavoie shared that, and also dropped a few other little scoops about Demidov.
A first game Monday for Ivan Demidov?
The journalist also mentioned that everyone would love to see him play tomorrow in Toronto against the Maple Leafs, but all signs point to Monday instead.
The Canadiens really want to give him time to adapt, but we'll have to wait and see.
Renaud also confirmed that Demidov will meet his new teammates tomorrow in Toronto.
He must be so excited!
