Canadian Meeting / SKA: Roman Rotenberg reveals the topics discussed
Charles-Alexis BriseboisAs you now know, the Canadiens’ executives are in Russia to closely follow the development of Ivan Demidov.
Kent Hughes, Vincent Lecavalier, and Jeff Gorton Nick Bobrov are the representatives of the team. They attended yesterday’s game, during which Demidov played 11 minutes. That’s a peak since a month ago. #Coincidence?
There was also a “summit” meeting with Roman Rotenberg, the best friend of Habs fans Demidov’s agent.

And he was… extremely polite. Let’s put it that way.
But at no point was Ivan Demidov’s name mentioned by the coach.

He did mention that “the development of young players” was discussed… but you know very well that Hughes was there for one guy in particular. He wasn’t there to make new friends just for fun.
And that’s completely normal.
But we do not know what was said about Demidov. I didn’t expect otherwise, however.
In Brief
– The owner of Utah HC is generous.
If you’ve never seen @utahhockeyclub live, it’s amazing. Giving away some tix for tonight’s game for people who’ve never been.
LMK who you’d bring and we’ll pick some people to join!

– They are good friends.
Call them The Travii, or call them “an old married couple,” but the friendship between Travis Sanheim and Travis Konecny has helped fuel the Flyers and put them on Canada’s roster for the 4 Nations Face-Off https://t.co/Ew4JHyOKfo
