What would Anton Silayev potentially bring to the table if he was selected 13th overall?
“Silayev is a unicorn 6-foot-7 defenseman who surprised some people with a hot start offensively in the KHL and rose to the top of the class playing legitimate minutes for one of the KHL’s better teams for most of the year (including in the playoffs) — an extremely rare feat for a 17-year-old. His 11 points in 63 games broke the league’s under-18 scoring record (Vladimir Tarasenko had 10 points and Kirill Kaprizov and Evgeny Kuznetsov each had eight at the same age). He played on the power play, consistently registered multiple shots per game and even played both sides.”

“Anton Silayev already looks like he’s got a good chance to be a number one defender in the NHL who kills penalties and plays a shutdown role at even strength. Picture Chris Tanev but with more offense and about five extra inches of height. That said, it really feels like Silayev has the potential to be a special offensive player, and if he can add that dimension to his game then he could be a potential superstar in the NHL, more on the level of someone like Victor Hedman.”
