A bit more context
Each of their 2 season leading up to the draft, combined:
Silayev
MHL (Jr) - 68GP 2G 11A 13PTS +4
International (U17) - 8GP 0G 0A 0PTS +1
KHL - 68GP 3G 10A 13PTS -8
Kucherov
MHL (Jr) - 109GP 61G 66A 127PTS +71
International (U18) - 7GP 11G 10A 21PTS +10
KHL - 9GP 0G 2A 2PTS -3
I think there's a pretty obvious reason why Silayev was able to skate with men at the age of 17, while Kucherov was not.
