This morning, we wrote about how Ivan Demidov should not wear the #91 this season.

Things could change in 2025-2026 because Oliver Kapanen doesn’t seem to be very attached to #91, but for this year, there won’t be a big number change for Kapanen.

It’s rather Ivan Demidov, as expected, who should change. We expect him to wear #93 since that’s what Anthony Desaulniers, Jean Trudel, and Marco D’Amico have said.

Warning: if you’ve decided to get a #91 Demidov jersey, don’t throw it away too quickly. It’s possible that he’ll change this summer, when the dust has settled.

But don’t blame me if it doesn’t happen: I’m saying this conditionally.

But anyway. No matter what number he wears, we should still expect Demidov to play next Monday… if everything goes well with his work visa with the Canadian government.

More and more, the idea of him playing next Monday against Chicago is circulating. Elliotte Friedman, in his 32 Thoughts, also mentioned it.

If the guy has time to play two games (while the Canadiens may already be qualified for the playoffs) before the games against the Capitals (if that’s what happens), it will be perfect for the Habs.

Everyone is eager to see him. And it’s coming.


Overtime

– Ray Shero has passed away.

– Ivan Demidov: first-round rookie in the KHL playoffs.

– What do you think?
