Silayev is an intriguing combination of size and mobility. At 9 - I would have zero issue taking him. But I also understand the concerns that he could be a Zadorov.
But he could be a lot more.
I think he goes earlier anyways.
All the Zadorov comps make me not want him at 9 as I can't find any logic in drafting a defenseman this high that projects to a flawed NHLer that's ideal in a bottom pairing. The Flames need to aim higher with this pick.
