The obvious size [6'7, 211lb] and the fact he's playing huge minutes in the KHL is really intriguing, but he's never really put up points anywhere he's been. Is a huge shut-down defensemen going to be worth choosing with a top-ten pick if other guys like Yakemchuk/Dickinson/Parekh/Buium are still on the board? Silayev really feels like a Flames pick if he's still on the board, especially with our recent trade history and the fact our Russian scouting has been given a boost recently.
Risky top-10 pick? Or no brainer if he's there for the Flames?

Is he the next Chara, whose offence came later, or the next Tyler Myers?
