Anton Silayev Scouting Report

Silayev is a mountain of a man. He stands 6'7, weighs 207lbs, and he's only seventeen years old! By the time he stops growing, and fills out his frame, he could easily approach 225 - 230lbs.
Silayev is playing in the KHL. He's being used in all situations. Although his offense has dropped off recently, he continues to contribute in a variety of roles. His long reach, and huge frame, will assist him with his defending on the smaller ice surface in North America. What impresses most is his smooth skating stride is, and how agile he is walking the offensive blue line to distribute pucks or direct them on goal from range. Silayev has two assists in his most recent ten game segment. He's averaging between 13:30 - 15:40 TOI, which is very impressive for a seventeen- year-old defenceman skating in the KHL.
