Larsson has a big frame, skates very well and has impressive hockey sense. Furthermore, he passes the puck very well and has an edge to his game, although his physical game could use some fine tuning. He likes to initiate contact. Some slight consistency issues.

Silayev's a giant defenceman with the skating ability to cover any area of the ice in the blink of an eye. His form is perfect, whether you look at his posture, the flexibility through his ankles, knees, and hips, or the overall output. With that explosive skating stride comes a vast defensive range and a willingness to activate into the play

Not a bad comparison.
But when you get into the weeds Larsson is 4 or so inches shorter, and maybe skates very well isn't the same as "explosive skating stride" or "perfect form"
Clearly it's what bio you grab from their draft, but I used Elite Prospects for both.
