Montreal, it’s a unique market.

We know that many people went to Montreal’s airport today to welcome the Canadiens’ new recruit, Ivan Demidov. There was a rumor about his arrival in town.

The Canadiens fans even took themselves for the Nordiques fans of the last years by watching the planes. #Hurricanes

But what we need to know is that the young star player will not arrive in Montreal today. This is what my colleague Maxime Truman learned about the subject.

He posted a tweet about it. He was the first to talk about it.

What colleague Truman reports is that Demidov left Russia, but he cannot arrive in Canada without the official paperwork being completed.

Because this can take a few more hours or days, Demidov will spend time in Istanbul. The fact that he is Russian complicates the file.

For these reasons, we should not expect to see Demidov play at the end of the week in Ontario. In the best-case scenario, the habs’ prospect could play on Monday.

Note that Marco D’Amico, who released the news before SKA yesterday and is very well connected to the case, says the prospect could join the team directly in Toronto on Friday. You can read his post on the subject.
