Since Kent Hughes and his team visited Ivan Demidov in Russia, everything is going well in the best of worlds for the Canadiens’ prospect.

We knew that the young man was overflowing with talent, but in the past few weeks, he seems to have more space to express himself on the ice. With good playing time, he can dominate.

And now, today, the KHL announced that the young man has been invited to the league’s All-Star Game, which will take place on February 8 and 9.

Initially, he wasn’t necessarily supposed to be there. But he will replace Tony DeAngelo, his former teammate with SKA. DeAngelo packed his bags and returned to North America.

They don’t play the same position, but Demidov is still replacing DeAngelo.

At 19 years old, Demidov is one of the youngest players in the league. But despite that, in 43 games, he scored 14 times and got 18 assists, giving him a total of 32 points.

With highlights worthy of the best players in the world, we can’t say that the Canadiens’ prospect stole his spot.

The Canadiens must hope that he can finish his season strong to gain confidence before coming, if all goes as planned, to North America in the coming months.

It can be assumed that in Montreal, his impact will be quite immediate. But we shall see in due time.
