I don’t think that will be his path, it’ll be 2 more years in the KHL and right into the NHL or else his development path hasn’t been as good as hoped. He will have 3 years pro in one of the best leagues in the world at that point; that also would put him at the same 3 years as Luke Hughes.
Also, even a good team hoping to compete for the next 5-10 years is going to need young talent that plays over their contract. Good teams just don’t stop drafting and developing young players because they want to compete over the next 2 years.

By your numbering system, I could say that it’s currently going to be another year until we see Jesper Bratt playing for the Devils.
Or maybe even clearer, it was 2 years of playing college for Luke Hughes before he was a Devils. In your 2 KHL years and 1 AHL years, it would be 3 years before Silayev played in the pros, not 4. He’s playing in the pros his 4th year.
I think if you took a poll, the vast majority think it too Luke 2 years in his timeline to being a pro, not 3. The first full year of being a pro isn’t part of the wait time.

We are booked at the position for the next 3 seasons, so if that were the timeline, it's not like we would be scrambling to fill a void as we wait.
In year 3 if he is in Utica, that would be some excellent injury insurance waiting in the wings.

Silayev is a young player. If Devils wants to compete now they can sign competent vet.
Oh, they already did it.
Why does Silayev need a year in the AHL?
the KHL plays the same rink size and and I believe the same rules.
in two years Gritsyuk will be on the team and have a house with his wife. Silayev will probably be living with them. I don't see the transition being that hard for Silayev.
Perhaps he gets 5-10 games in the AHL but I doubt a whole season.

Gritsyuk should join the Devils after this season.
May be Silayev will start in NHL, may be in AHL. With Luke, Siegs, Dillon, Hattaka, Misyul, Vilen and potentially some other free agent signings I dont see any problem even if he will need to play 1 adaptation year in AHL. Even if I dont think he will need to.

Silayev will have 3 KHL seasons under his belt in 2 years. I highly doubt he'll play in the AHL, he should be ready for the NHL.
I don’t even know what his is supposed to mean, but he’ll most likely be playing for NJ within 3 years, not 4.
Or would you rather they selected a lesser player with a quicker timeline?

Than we could argue that we drafted player with smaller potential by high pick.
You can do this you can do that, you are always wrong.

I think they made the right call with Silayev, but if they believed Helenius could play 3C for the team in 2025-26 I think it's at least a debate they might have had. A 3C on an ELC would help this team's cup chances dramatically.

Luke is 20 years 11 months and needed 2 years in the NCAA before making the club.
Nemec is 20 years 6 months and needed 1 year in the AHL before making the club.
For the season opener 2026 Silayev will be 20 years 5 months with two years in the KHL. I am not worried about where his development will be when he comes over, especially with Larionov as his mentor.

Being in the AHL may not always be about skill and talent. In cases for non-US - maybe they throw them in the A so they can mentally get caught up with living in a new country. Less pressure on the ice while you're also trying to figure out how UberEats works here.

As long as Silayev's arc continues, I don't believe he needs a minute of AHL hockey. You can achieve the same result starting on 3rd pair with minimal PK time.
I don't think this is quite right because there's way more resources to help out a player at the NHL level. Teams are used to dealing with these issues.

I think the only way he goes to the AHL is if the team is set at LD rosterwise and wants to push his ELC or use him as a callup option (basically what the team did with Simon Nemec last year).
We can't push his ELC after 2 years.
If we want to preserve his ELC, it will be via a 3rd year in the KHL, at which point he will be 21 signing his ELC, and correct me if I'm wrong but that means his ELC will still be 3 years long
So the timeline (assuming we keep Dillon/Siegs for the life of Dillon's contract) would be
24-25: KHL
25-26: KHL
26-27: KHL
27-28: ELC (NHL)
28-29: ELC (NHL)
29-30: ELC (NHL)

No, I'm not serious.
I’m not worried about pushing his ELC out and I doubt the team will be either. He’s not gonna be a huge point guy especially off the bat, unless he really takes a step. And defensive guys just don’t get paid as well from the jump.
