The New Jersey Devils selected Anton Silayev with the #10 Overall pick in the 2024 NHL Draft.
Silayev is an 18 year old, 6’7″ defenseman that is currently playing in the KHL.
When will we see Silayev on the NJ Devils?
What does this mean for the team today?
What does this mean for Tom Fitzgerald and the New Jersey Devils in Free Agency?
I discuss it all in this video.

Better then trading it for necas that’s for sure
Outstanding pick, great value bravo Fitz and #NJDevils!
hes a big dog thats for sure……but does he have the big dog bite?
You need 2 teams to make a trade…if no one was offering a top 6 forward for #10. Eiserman won't be NHL ready for couple years anyway. We need to get bigger and more physical especially on backlines.. I'm good with this pick.
Zhadrov confirmed NOT going back to VAN, gotta just say fuck it throw the bag 6×6 he needs to be a devil
Ace, once again, you mirror my thoughts exactly. Fitz said he wanted to bring in 2 forward and 2 D with $15 mil and the #10 pick. Now a big piece has expired and we are left wonder what happened. I'm sure the kid will be fine in a few years but, like you said, the core is aging. My expectations for the off-season have been lowered dramatically. I wouldn't be surprised if we only ended up with Brett Pesce and Ross Colton and some cap space for the Spring. Sad.
Bro didnt you say you were old school and wanted physicality? We just drafted Chara/Hedman lite with better skating. This kid will be here within 2 years on an ELC and is going to be a monster. Our window isnt 3 years its 10. Take the long view. I look forward to seeing you come around when you see this kid skate.
Definitely was hoping to trade it as well, I'm with you on the win now movement. It seems this year though, no team was high on any draft pick this draft class besides #1, not many trades went down at all and it seemed we just went through the motions of drafting, very blah picks all around.
With that said, if we didn't get any real offers for #10, I'm okay with the pick. I watched as offensive prospects went and went and went and was actually excited we could get a decent D-man prospect at #10 rather than just a mid-pack prospect. So like you, bummed we couldn't trade it but okay with the outcome considering all things with this draft.
Fitzgerald let us down and didn’t go big game hunting with the 10th overall. Not a win now day that’s for sure would rather have got another piece to go for it in the next two years
