Day one of the NHL Draft has concluded. The New Jersey Devils held onto their 10th overall pick and selected Anton Silayev (Russia). Among international skaters, Silayev was ranked number one. He stands 6'7'' and showcased his potential while playing in the KHL. It'll be a couple of years before he suits up in an NHL game, but he seems to fit within the Devils' timeline.

He's everything the Devils aren't but desperately need. I don't care if this kid puts up 20 points a year. If he's physically disruptive, hits, blocks shots, and creates matchup problems, he will be worth his weight in gold.

Absolutely agree and with two seasons in the team ran by Igor Larionov he will be better off for development than in AHL

The best defensive defender who can really defend well for his size, reach agile and fast on his feet. He can hit guys big time, and his shot is very underrated with a lot of power.

We didn't need to add another offensive gazelle. This kid is a behemoth on skates! Silayev paired with Nemec is going to be nightmare fuel for the league in a couple of years.

I couldnt believe this guy was there at 10, equally relieved they got him. One of the best skaters in the draft at any size and he's 6'7 ?! Unreal ceiling on this kid. This was the only player in this draft that i was truly intrigued by.

Next season, Anton Silayev, the 10th pick in the 2024 NHL Draft, will likely play one more season with Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod of the KHL before opting out of his final year of his contract and signing a 3-year, entry-level contract with the Devils for the 2025-26 NHL season, so he will set single-season records by a rookie defenseman with 24 goals, 61 assists, and 85 points and win the Calder Trophy as the league’s top rookie.

The key is to compare him to other players at the same age. He is DEFINITELY not on the same level offensively Hedman was at the age of 18. And that is totally fine. His elite skating combined with his size gives him a ceiling that is sky high. He is a great prospect and I am extremely excited about his absolutely elite potential. However, considering hockey sense is supposedly one of his weak points I'm just slightly concerned about how long we will have to wait until he produces elite performance.

Was kinda hoping the pick would be traded, that being said hey if there wasn't anyone out there worth it no need to force it. If you're mad about not moving it who would the trade have been for? Silayev was my top prospect for the Devils to draft, getting a 6'7" DFD who is an elite skater?! Sounds like Luke's perfect long term D partner. As for the two years in the KHL, yes it also helps space out our young guns so we don't have too many rookies playing together like last year but it's gonna take two years of development for most prospects taken around Silayev to crack the NHL.. It took Luke two years before turning pro and the plan was for Nemec to get a second season in the AHL before Dougie tore his Pec.

I love the pick. Agree he could be a good partner for luke. Like petrangelo and pareyko

This kid could’ve been drafted 2nd by pick 6 I was shocked he was still there and praying he dropped to us and can’t believe he actually fell that far and we were smart enough to grab him

Anyone disappointed that they didn't trade the pick has a terrible understanding of what the Devils actually NEED on their roster. This could be the lynchpin to a dynasty - no hyperbole.

Once Eiserman lasted past 14, I would have been calling every team between 12 and 20 trying to get one of those picks to take Eiserman. Offering up 2026 first rounder (with NO protection to add value-you gotta gamble sometimes. If we aren't picking in the 20s at the 26 draft something is wrong and Fitz will have been fired), Casey and any other prospects (none of them are that good because all the good ones have recently graduated prospect status and become pros), and any 2nd rounders. Most likely we wouldn't have had enough to make it happen, but it would have been worth it as his floor, the absolute worst he will be is last year's version of Toffoli.

We already have a defensive liability scoring forward in Bratt, and he's on a long-term expensive deal. I'm not so sure we would want a second - and the fact that he dropped to 20th, only selected by a team truly appalling in scoring, speaks highly of my assessment.
