Ivan Demidov battles Matvei Michkov for best Russian prospect

You've heard of Matvei Michkov, now meet his twin flame: Ivan Demidov! The two players have a lot in common (similar size, same position of RW), but the main area they differentiate is how they score: Michkov wants to score goals, Demidov is more of a playmaker–both are exceptionally talented. With rumors of Michkov coming over sooner than expected and the Flyers getting goaltender Ivan Fedotov to North America out of the blue after all he was put through, teams may feel less hesitation drafting Russians this high. Demidov certainly has the chops to be a top three pick.
