The vast majority of Montreal Canadiens fans are happy to now be able to count on a prospect like Ivan Demidov.
Even if he was clearly the second player with the most raw talent of the past, the famous “Russian factor” and questions about his history of injury caused him to slip to 5th place, to the great happiness of CH.
Right after the Habs’ pick, the Utah hockey team turned 6th overall.
General manager Bill Armstrong was very happy to see that Tij Iginla was always available when it came time to talk.
So happy, that it is likely that he achieved the club’s official name.
Sure, he was excited to see that Jarome Iginla’s son was available, but I didn’t think he would be excited until I heard his offspring on TSN Overdrive, today.
Utah GM Bill Armstrong says on TSN OverDrive that they were worried when Celine Dion was picking for the Canadiens because it took her so long to make the pick announcement, when they finally burst out of their table knowing that They are getting Iginla.

Armstrong mentioned that the whole organization was worried when Celine Dion announced the choice of the CH, she took her time.
It is true that Celine Dion took all the time in the world to announce the choice for the The arena in Vegas.
I was starting to get impatient with myself.
Knowing that Demidov was available, I expected him to be selected.
Armstrong was in the same situation, but with much more pressure than me… ANDof course.
But it was not Demidov’s intention. He was more like Iginla.
At least that’s what he said, because he wouldn’t have said otherwise. It would seem crazy to deny him the option.
Imagine being happy when you lose to Demidov?

On the other hand, we have to admit that Tij Iginla has assets that Demidov does not.
He is a dog, plays hard and is very competitive, if we trust what Armstrong said on the airwaves TSN 1050.
We can also say that he is the player of this vintage with the highest floor.
Basically, he was the one with the most definite value in terms of what he can bring to an NHL club, despite being slightly lower than the rest of the top 10.
We’ll see what time we have to see if CH made the right choice with Demidov.
