We have an update on the young Montreal Canadiens forward, Ivan Demidov. In a press conference moments ago, head coach Martin St-Louis announced that he has officially changed his mind and has changed his forward lines.
One of those changes involves Ivan Demidov’s line.
St-Louis revealed that he has officially decided to swap Patrik Laine and Joel Armia permanently, confirming that Demidov now has a new regular line.
Patrik Laine placed on a line with Alex Newhook and Ivan Demidov
This decision is not unanimous among the experts, who worry it might put too much defensive pressure on Demidov, but St-Louis justified it by saying he assumes this is a line that won’t be spending much time in its own defensive zone.
Let’s really hope it works.
Here’s what it looks like now:
Caufield-Suzuki-Slafkovsky
Laine-Newhook-Demidov
Anderson-Dvorak-Gallagher
Heineman-Evans-Armia
Emil Heineman, Jake Evans, and Joel Armia are now officially united on the team’s fourth line.
Yes, this is a line (Laine and Demidov) that ideally will need to produce.
Ivan Demidov will play with Patrik Laine and Alex Newhook [DLC].
Personally, I remain confident because I believe (despite his questionable backcheck in the last game) Ivan Demidov is a much more complete player than some might think.
More details to come.
