Demidov Eyes Eight-Year Deal

Ivan Demidov’s sensational rookie season has Montreal scrambling to lock him down for the long haul—both he and GM are prioritizing an extension before a looming NHL CBA deadline that caps contract terms. With Demidov leading all rookies in points and nearly winning the Calder, the Canadiens are banking on him as a cornerstone. His window to secure an eight-year deal with a big bonus is closing fast, and he’s eager to commit—following the trend of stars like Suzuki and Caufield who chose team-friendly deals. Projected at $9M/year over eight years, this could be a steal as the salary cap rises and Demidov matures into a superstar. With both sides motivated and time running out, Demidov is poised to become a core piece of Montreal’s championship blueprint. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
