More and more, rumors are circulating that the Canadiens might be tempted to find an internal solution for the much-discussed second-line center position.
It looks like the Canadiens are considering moving Bolduc back to center.
That said, if things don’t work out with Bolduc, if the trade market doesn’t pan out, and if Kirby Dach isn’t a fit, all signs point to a new, unexpected option emerging.There is a rumor going around that the Montreal Canadiens could make a change involving Ivan Demidov and try him at center
It could definitely be an interesting experiment!
That was actually the subject of a recent article on DansLesCoulisses.
“Kent Hughes is working hard right now to try to find a solution on the trade market, but no one wants to trade a top-6 center across the league.
So that means we have to look for internal solutions.. and that’s where Ivan Demidov enters the equation.”

I don’t hate the idea-and journalist Eric Engels really liked it too.
And you-do you like the idea?
For Kent Hughes to talk about it publicly, it clearly means it’s a real possibility, so don’t be surprised if we see it in the fall.
