Ivan Demidov is mapping out his Montreal summer, and he is not exactly planning to keep it quiet. The wrinkle is Zharovsky, which suggests this is part development, part relationship-building, and part hockey homework. When a young player starts talking about where he will spend his offseason, teams listen closely because those choices tend to tell you something. Montreal wants every detail it can get on its next wave, and this one feels worth watching.
