Devils Eye Anton Silayev in a Move That Smells Like Business

The Devils are expected to sign Anton Silayev, and that kind of report usually means the organization thinks the player fits a long-term plan. These deals matter because they often say more about the club’s timeline than the player’s immediate role. Around the league, teams are always trying to get ahead of the next wave before the price goes up. This one has the feel of a front office doing its homework and moving before the market can talk it out of the idea.
