Look at that big man go.

We knew it, but wow can he skate!

Look at that big man go.

yea, it’s a straight line but it’s really impressive - especially the acceleration from a dead stop.

Holy moly!! Has there ever been a guy as big as him who can skate like THAT?! I can see why we’re so enamored by his tantalizing skill set and size. This dude is a unicorn. Our defense is really good right now but it’s going to be off-the-charts in a few seasons when Silayev is here.

With the way the NHL has been trending (heavily rush based offense) having Luke and Silayev on your left side could end up kind of incredible.

His floor has to be very high with those physical tools. Feels like at worst we’re getting Jamie Oleksiak

And he didn’t appear to be going 100% the whole distance; just enough to stay ahead of anyone trying to get to him on an angle.

 

[Hisch13r]

I think Silayev’s my favorite player ever to just watch skate

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

If he develops offense the only comparable NHLers with that skillset package are hall of famers. What a lucky break that he fell, NJ cannot trade him under any circumstances.

Look at that big man go.

That was a pretty nice pass, and he corralled it and got that shot off like lightning quick. Smooth skillset on display!
