Talent Analysis
Silas is not afraid to thrown his body around, and has a good grasp of the offensive side of the game but his skating and defensive play leave more to be desired. His greatest attribute is his playmaking ability.
Future
Silas will spend another season or two at the OHL level, working on his shot, his skating and improving his positional play.
