Summary
The Canadiens just handed Ivan Demidov an eight-year, $9.125M AAV contract extension — making him the highest-paid forward once the season ends — but he’s still behind defenseman Noah Dobson’s $9.5M deal. The move locks in Demidov through 2035 and was necessary to secure the long-term option, even if the number seems steep compared to current top earners like Nick Suzuki and Cole Caufield.
