The young Latvian Netminder is bound to hit free agency as a restricted free agent. While the Canucks are in possession of his rights, it doesn't mean that the other 31 franchises are prohibited to go after. Silovs is a prime offer sheet candidate, given his age, the potential he's shown and the fact that he's in line to sign a near league minimum contract.
After Silov's playoff performance, he surpassed Casey DeSmith in the Canucks' goaltending depth chart and it meant that he was a clear lock to form a tandem with the Vézina Finalist, Thatcher Demko.
