Siryatsky grew a couple inches to 6’4”, reached 183 pounds, and played in 49 VHL games in 2024-25. This is a trend in the right direction for the lanky 18 year old playing against men in the VHL. It seems he’s got his coaches’ trust, and the next step in his development would be to increase his point production. Should he also get his first taste of the KHL in 2025-26, a path to the top four of an AHL could be forming over the next few years.

Siryatsky was taken in the fourth round of the 2024 NHL Draft to the Carolina Hurricanes. A rangy and lanky defender who understands that he is only 159 pounds and isn’t too physical, utilizing his stick and IQ to disrupt plays in his own zone. His offensive is incredibly simple, which can be both a good thing and a bad thing, as he isn’t dynamic in anything offensively. After putting up a respectable 19 points in 36 games at the MHL level, Siryatsky looks poised to challenge for a KHL spot going into this upcoming season. Since his contract runs until the end of the 2025-26 season, do not expect Siryatsky to make a real impact anytime soon in relation to coming to North America.
