So you have a player who’s 17 (Helenius) and scoring at a rate that Patrick Laine, Barkov and a lot of other successful nhl players are.
He’s also very intelligent.
I’d pick him 15-20 but he’s very well rounded.
You’ve got to take in consideration how much he’s going to improve as he gets older

Basically don’t draft Finns is what North Americans have been saying for years now

Silayev=Zadorov

[@MARCHAND-ENTHUSIAST]

Zadorov is wayyy more physical whereas silayev relies more on his skating

[@italian1ist]

I think Silayev will be better than zadorov.
