## Resource

Ivan Demidov’s rookie season was nothing short of electric—he led all rookies in scoring with 19 goals and 43 assists, finished second in Calder Trophy voting, and earned All-Rookie honors while stepping into a top-six role alongside Oliver Kapanen. His playmaking revolutionized Montreal’s power play, lifting them from 21st to 10th in efficiency, and he flashed brilliance with captain Nick Suzuki. While his defensive metrics lagged and he occasionally hesitated to shoot, his offensive creativity and upside are undeniable. With room to grow—and a shot rate poised to climb—Demidov isn’t just a top prospect; he’s already proving to be a franchise-changing force.
