New Jersey Devils Plan to Bring Anton Silayev to North America This Offseason
The New Jersey Devils are reportedly making preparations to bring their 2024 first-round draft pick, defenseman Anton Silayev, to North America after his KHL season ends. Silayev, known for his imposing 6'7" frame, currently plays for Torpedo Nizhny Novgorod in the KHL.
According to recent reports, the Devils are keen on signing Silayev to an entry-level contract as soon as his current KHL deal expires. His team is currently in the playoffs, and once their season concludes, the focus will shift to facilitating his move across the Atlantic.
The process of bringing Silayev to North America involves navigating various logistical challenges, particularly the visa application process, which is known to be complex and time-consuming. However, the clear objective for both the Devils organization and Silayev's representatives is to have him on North American soil in time to participate in the team's development camp. This camp typically takes place in late June or early July, following the NHL Draft.
While the exact timeline will depend on how far Torpedo advances in their playoffs and the duration of the visa process, all indications point towards Silayev signing with the Devils and making the move. The team aims for him to go through all necessary steps and be integrated into the Devils' development system as soon as possible after the draft.
