Time will tell what he does in the NHL in 2+ seasons and beyond but was hoping we’d trade this pick. Clearly he’s a long term project at his size and this team shouldn’t take their contention window and core players for granted in the process. Things can always change fast
Really like this pick. This draft was/is a defense heavy draft but a lot of forwards went early. Fitzy could have easily traded this for a guy they’d have to pay big money for or he could have reached to draft a player (forward) who fit the teams needs more, but instead, he played it safe and took arguably the best player available, who easily could have gone 3-5 picks earlier.

Anton Silayev’s KHL contract doesn’t expire until the end of the 2025-26 season.

Love this pick!
Should’ve been zeev but not mad at it
I don't think he knows anything about new jersey or it's players lol. Even the coach for that matter. These answers sound generic
