Prospect Info: Anton Silayev (LD - #10 Overall - Round 1 - 2024 Draft)

[Unknown Caller]

Silayev’s hands and puck moving abilities are going to be the deciding factor as to what type of player he turns into. Based on his size, skating and ability to defend alone, he’ll almost definitely be an NHL player.

The question is whether he learns to be capable enough moving the puck and whether he develops proficient hands to truly make an impact at the NHL level. If he does, the sky is the limit. If he doesn’t, you have a one dimensional player who can skate and defend but drives everyone crazy with an inability to get pucks out of his zone and move pucks up ice.

This is basically how we define a good season from Siegs - while I don’t disagree that his puck skills will determine his upside, I’d be shocked if he doesn’t end up an extremely valuable NHL piece given how the game is trending.

So worst case he is Nico Mikkola.
