[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

what the f*** is Nizhny Novgorod Torpedo lmao

 

[Devils731]

Totally reasonable pick which is all I can hope for as only a draft reader.

Anton Silayev, a huge 6'7" LHD. Here's the scouting report.

Anton Silayev Scouting Report: 2024 NHL Draft #5

Anton Silayev is a talented defenceman blessed with great size. However questions about the Russian factor effect his draft stock.

[Darkauron]

Zeev is a much better player and one of the best IQ in the draft. Very dissapointed

 

[Mr Bojanglez]

the sphere is nuts

 

[HersheyBob27]

Gotta love the big guy Nice

 

[MadDevil]

Fitz killed the server.

 

[Japam]

Where's Steve w his breakdown

.

 

[HBK27]

Wheeler also mocked him going 3rd to Anaheim.

Devils probably felt there was zero chance he'd be there at 10.

 

[Mirka the Turka]

Hopefully Putin doesn’t keep him

 

[OmNomNom]

in 5 years we gonna look back and curse Fitz for not taking Buium? Feels like it

We can't always be on the bad end of this right now

 

[My3Sons]

Where's Steve w his breakdown

Yes after NJ passing on Buium he’s having a breakdown.

 

[StevenToddIves]

I'm extremely happy with Silayev. He's probably the best skater at 6'6 or over in draft history. Silayev is an excellent defender who is pretty good with the puck and has some offensive upside. He's willing to play a greasy and physical game. Great pick.

 

[jkrdevil]

I don’t know anything about the players. He was listed a best available when the puck came so it’s fine.

 

[Darkauron]

Too busy defending the IDF.

huh??

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

EP says his contract in Russia is 2 more years

 

[Devils731]

Devils took a guy many thought would go much higher. Cue the complaints.

 

[OmNomNom]

How do ppl feel if zeev keeps dropping though, would make you wonder

Watch him go to Philly tho

 

[PKs Broken Stick]

Silayev screams a need pick to me again

 

[ViD]

The Russian Hamilton is in

Thank you Steve lol

Who's complaining just to complain? There were better players in Dickinson/Buium

 

[Cheddabombs]

All I know is this guy is a big boi. And that may be all Fitz knew as well. But people that know much more than me seem happy with this pick, so I am too

 

[Shakir ONeal]

I trust our Russian scouts

 

[Killing Joke]

Tom and our scouting staff really suck. Better dman on the board and we pick a Russian dman with a ten cent head that doesn’t fit the timeline.
