## Resource

Ivan Demidov is one of the most exciting young talents in hockey, but could the Montreal Canadiens take an unconventional approach and use him as their long-term second-line center? In today's video, Shaun Starr and Marco D'Amico break down whether Demidov has the skill set, hockey IQ, and offensive instincts to successfully make the transition from wing to center. If Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton can't acquire a proven top-six center this summer, is this an experiment worth trying? We discuss: 🏒 Can Ivan Demidov realistically play center in the NHL? 🏒 What are the benefits and risks of moving him from the wing? 🏒 Would playing center maximize his offensive impact? 🏒 What alternatives do the Canadiens have if they can't trade for a second-line center? 🏒 How much could Demidov earn on his next contract if he reaches his potential? The Canadiens have a number of important decisions ahead as they continue building toward Stanley Cup contention. Could Demidov be the answer down the middle, or is he simply too valuable on the wing? Let us know your thoughts in the comments! #montrealcanadiens #nhl #hockey Hosted on Acast.
