ESPN just posted their 2024 mock draft:

They have the Flames taking Silayev, they're also the first publication I've seen refering to Silayev as having the highest ceiling outside of Celebrini.
"Calgary needs to add some defensive prospects to the cupboard, and while I'm not convinced Silayev will be available at this spot, Calgary should be thrilled if he gets to them. The hulking 6-7 defender is playing meaningful minutes on one of the KHL's better teams, which is extremely rare at age 17. He's not expected to be an offensive defenseman in the NHL, but showing developable offensive attributes at his size raises eyebrows: Outside of Celebrini, he projects to have the highest ceiling in the draft.
He skates very well and shows quality agility in the way he defends in transition and moves around the offensive zone. Silayev seems to be scratching the surface of his potential with his talents and physical gifts. His ceiling at the NHL level is as an impactful top-pairing defenseman, if he can add strength without losing mobility."
