## Resource

Ivan Demidov just signed an eight-year, $73 million deal with the Montreal Canadiens, locking him in for the long haul after a record-breaking rookie season with 62 points and 19 goals. A key offensive force and first-power-play unit member, he nearly won Rookie of the Year and helped Montreal reach the Eastern Conference Final. Prioritizing hockey over money, Demidov’s $9.1M AAV deal gives the Canadiens crucial cap flexibility to build a championship roster. With his commitment and the team’s core, Montreal is poised for a serious Stanley Cup run — and this signing is a major statement for the future.
