Ivan Demidov is going to the KHL All-Star Game.

Since Kent Hughes and his team went to see Ivan Demidov in Russia, everything is great in the best of worlds for the Canadiens’ prospect.

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

And 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.

Originally, 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 replacing DeAngelo nonetheless.

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

With highlights worthy of the best players in the world, one cannot say that the Canadiens’ prospect has stolen his place.

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

One can think that in Montreal, his impact will be quite immediate. But we’ll see in due time.
