Demidov is a dextrous, mechanically sound puckhandler with the sort of fast-twitch wrists necessary to bring his ideas to life. Every move serves a purpose, whether improving the quality of his look as a shooter or creating openings in the defence that he can exploit as a distributor. And the same dexterity and touch that makes him so effective as a handler is every bit as present when he’s ready to send the puck elsewhere. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide

he can keep it on a string while going at full speed, using his hands and lateral move to his forehand to destabilize the defense
