He may never put up a ton of points, but he projects as a top 2 shutdown defender. That’s something every team likes to have.

That’s an interesting nickname…Hulking Defenseman. Mine’s Prototypical Power Forward.
207 is hulking when he's still a teenager
I have a feeling Silayev is picked by Anaheim as he is the type of player GM Pat Verbeek likes.
This is a bit random, but one day, we'll finally see a guy come along who's as tall or taller than Chara. There's a bunch of 6'7" and 6'8" guys, but no one has ever reached 6'9"! Anyway, that's what's on my mind.
Love these prospect videos Shannon. Thanks!
It would be magic if this kid could make it to Seattle
Kept saying, "Hulking" and I ws ready for you to rip the Seattle Jersey in half….
It’s a tossup between Anaheim and Chicago and Anaheim probably wants him worse
Yea he's going high, it just depends which team wants a defensive D more.
He's going to Seattle and I agree with your pick. Elite Prospects has him way late after having him around 7 to 8
Zadorov with better skating sounds like a dream in the playoffs. Goes early.
Huge potential top pairing defensive defenseman who can skate better than Zadorov and hit? He’s gone early. That’s got top 3 pick written all over it. Obviously, there’s the KHL issue, but more guys are coming over and it’s less of a problem. The fact that he’s young and isn’t getting as many opportunities to play there actually could be a good thing in terms of his upside. The main thing would be getting him over to North America ASAP so he can adjust to the style of play and the ice surface.
Have to be mobile in todays game… and keep him off the nose candy
Tall, yes. Hulking, not at 207lb.
What a draft year. Everyone of them looks good, but …they all have a big but. Someone on YouTube has every shift from one game posted, instead of highlights. He is a good skater, looks to have chase down speed, but like a lot of tall guys is awkward with the puck. Levshunov seems the opposite. Skating has bad first steps, but looks slick with the puck.
Tankathon has the Wild taking him at 13.
Chara 6'9" 256 lbs.
Anaheim
Sounds like prime Doumolin.
I hope the Ducks pick him up. They have tons of offensive defensemen, they need a shut down/minutes defensemen.
Mr Hockey Guy… random video idea… why do teams give up on the big defensemen they draft… Chara, Pronger and Burns come to mind. All realized their potential, but all were traded by the teams that drafted them.
Everybody says the Anaheim Ducks I hope not Cayden Lindstrom would be my pick. We need scoring.
