Value of: F - Dmitry Silantyev, Metallurg Magnitogorsk (KHL)

[Jersey Fan 12]

This is one for @Caser, @Guadana or some of the others who see the KHL on a regular basis.

He's now 24 and never drafted so past the point of being a high end prospect.

But after two mediocre regular seasons he was a near point per game scorer in last Spring's Gagarin Cup playoffs.

He also scored this highlight reel goal yesterday.

Is he worth watching?

I think he has not enough drive or game making in his game for top six nhl role and he isn’t very strong defensively as positional player to pencil him as potential two way pk smaller forward. But I saw him in limited amount of games and never focused on him, Magnitogosk isn’t my club or club with prospects I tracked. I believe Casey knows better.

Weird situation as a late bloomer who had 11 career KHL points heading into last year's playoffs ... and then led a championship-winning team in playoff points.

If he can be a PPG player over a full season in 24-25 maybe he gets some NHL sniffs, especially considering his late developmental spike.
