CH: prospects Bogdan Konyushkov to join Ivan Demidov in Montreal this summer

Ivan Demidov’s arrival in Montreal has been the talk of the town, not only because the guy is talented, but also because the process of bringing a player from Russia to North America is not a simple one.

There are often complications.

So, in a way, it’s reassuring to know that Demidov will spend the summer in Montreal. The Habs will have no trouble getting him to North America for the next camp.

In fact, by spending the summer in Montreal, Demidov will have the chance to see Bogdan Konyushkov.

Bogdan, a Canadiens prospect drafted in the fourth round in 2023, will have the chance to attend the Canadiens’ development camp in Montreal this July. This is what the RG media site, via the pen of Daria Tuboltseva, tells us.

Habs prospect Bogdan Konyushkov is coming to Montreal… for Development Camp!

The Canadiens prospect talks about his run to a VHL Championship, his impression of Montreal and relationship with Ivan Demidov.

You have to know that for a Russian, it’s pretty rare to see this.

You should also know that Bogdan wanted to do this last year, but wasn’t able to show up due to the fact that he didn’t have a passport. But now he has a passport and even his visa.

We must remember that the 6′ (right-handed) defenseman has never hidden his desire to play in the National League with the Habs. That’s his goal, and he’s got the talent to make it happen.

His GM in Russia in 2024 said he believed in his chances of making it.

Bogdan is currently 22 and has played three full seasons in the KHL. If he plays one more before potentially making it to the NHL, he’ll have plenty of pro experience.

Will it happen? Who knows. But his name is one to watch.
