I am not a fan of this pick. I don't care how you wanna sugarcoat it. This screams like Muk 2.0, a reach pick when there were better consensus options. Pissed off right now.

Muk worked out for us in the end

 

[Alex NJD]

Minnesota has got be overjoyed they got Buium to compliment Faber.

 

[britdevil]

wtf are the Wild doing?

You trade up and sit on your ass??

 

[MadDevil]

If Bob MacKenzie had this kid 3rd and we took him at 10, how do you complain about that?

Because he didn't fit our own well researched and scouted personal draft lists.

[My3Sons]

Buium and Faber will be one heck of a pair

Muk wasn't a bad pick either, did we need get Meier w him, and is he not a good prospect?

All these strange ppl are out on the boards tonight

 

[Emperoreddy]

I totally agree that getting a guy slated for the top of the draft at 10 is objectively a good thing, but the three-year window for contribution is a legit thing to complain about when we're trying to compete now.

Fitz really needs to get maximum value for Marino. We aren't flush in assets at the moment to improve next year's squad

 

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

At least he's in the west

 

[HBK27]

So glad Philly traded the pick and the Wild took Bium.

Faber Tooth Tiger? Really Weekes?

He was the consensus option on many lists, ranked higher than the Devils pick.

You can dislike the pick but not a reach by any definition

 

[Forge]

I don't get how anyone is really upset with the pick. If they had picked a guy like Boisvert at 10, be upset. But Silayev had a number of evaluators with him inside the top 5.

 

[Devils731]

Might be the top pick of the draft? Don’t they know he was obviously over drafted at 10?

 

[britdevil]

Good for them, not often you get a 50 point NCAA rookie D that late in the first round.

Doesnt seem like its a bad pick unless the complainers have a crystal ball.

 

[BurntToast]

Dude Silayev’s coach is Igor Larionov. He was rumored top 3, top 5. He has a lot of potential.

 

[Emperoreddy]

I don't get how anyone is really upset with the pick. If they had picked a guy like Boisvert at 10, be upset. But Silayev had a number of evaluators with him inside the top 5.

Pick itself seems good, but I'm not really in a place to be excited about someone who won't be on the squad for 3 years when next year's squad needs work.

 

[Nico Hischier]

Super happy with the pick. Hope he can get out of his contract and come over earlier like Michkov did

Yeah but have you considered that some people online are angry

 

[Alex NJD]

2018 vibes all over again? 2 dmen expected to go in the top 6-8 end up going 10 and 12. Silayev becomes our Bouchard (in terms of success not play style)

Celebrini is the only player from this class likely to play in the NHL next season. After that you're only talking about a handful of players that are likely going to play in the NHL in their D+2 season and most of those players aren't going to be impact players. Silaev has a chance to be a dominant shut down defenseman, you should be able to wait an extra year for that type of player.
