Prospect Info: 2024 Draft, 9th Overall, Zayne Parekh

I would honestly consider that though. I know it probably wouldn't be the right call (losing one of our only legitimate defenders on the team for the immediate future) but god damn would I love Silayev.

I never said that I wouldn’t consider it, lol

While I love your proposed d corps, the thought that a soon to be 36 year old Backlund and/or 33 year old Coleman have that kind of value to any GM, let alone for Silayev, is exactly that: a dream. It would take Razzy and a 1st just to get Fitzgerald to answer the phone lol

Very unrealistic trade indeed but it’s a dream for a reason. That plus could be any of our 1sts other than our own 2026 pick and I’d be thrilled.

Pretty clear he’s going to be in the NHL at least for a 9 game stint next year.

We could really use the creativity.

Highly unlikely. His offensive game was never in question. He looked absolutely lost out there without the puck against NHL players in the preseason. Conroy/Huska will not give him 1 game of NHL time if he cant look even remotely serviceable in his own zone. I still convinced that hes 2.5 years away. 1 more CHL year, 1 full year of AHL and a partial second year in the AHL. Call it the Zary curve if you want.

Crazy to think he started the year at 15 games & 15 points.
Just being PPG seems really disappointing, lol

Is there no way he can play AHL nextyear?

Zero chance he plays anywhere but the CHL. He cannot go to the NCAA, AHL or Europe due to signing an NHL contract and transfer agreements.
