[Signing] Ducks re-sign Jakob Silfverberg


Recommended Posts

Great deal. Only one year but at an awesome cap hit.

wow what a steal of a deal. This guy should be playing top six minutes this season beside Kesler and Cogliano

Cogliano will most likely be their third line center now

Heatley - Getzlaf - Perry

Etem - Kesler - Silfverberg

Rakell - Cogliano - Palmieri

Maroon - Thompson - DSP

Most likely line combos IMO.

ugh Heatley on the first line? That's ugly.

I really don't like the moves the Ducks made this offseason. Imagine if they didnt let RFA Perreault walk for nothing.

LOL Exactly, I saw that and thought it was a typo.

He was relegated to the 4th line on the Wild.....The Ducks are a deeper team....

My reasoning is that he wouldn't be a good fit with Kesler, and guys like Rakell and Maroon are good on the third and fourth lines. Playing with Getzlaf and Perry may get Heatley's career back on track.

Great deal but he'll get alot more on a big deal when he signs one.

They got a solid first line but I don't see them contending because they need their young players to develop into full time NHLers. Getzlaf, Perry, Kesler are going to be obvious top 6 players but they're going to need DSP to play like how he did in the playoffs during the whole season for him to fill a spot. The other 2, Cogliano and Silfverberg will fill out the LW and RW for Kesler's line.

There is nothing that can get Heatley's career back on track other than a trip back in time. He is pretty much finished and will likely play on the 4th line/13 forward.

Heatley has lost his game. He can still give you 10-15 goals a season but he is nowhere near the all star that he used to be. Heatley would probably be playing 4th line minutes and Devante Smith Pelly would be moved up to the third. Palmieri to the second and Etem to the first alongside with Getzlaf and Perry.

This.

Age and a lack of motivation has set in and it not going away.

After the Ducks traded Penner to the Caps, Belesky and Smith-Pelly were the usual alternating line mates for Getzlaf and Perry, especially in the playoffs. If they continue with that formula, I'd expect to see Heatley somewhere between the 3rd/4th lines with a combination of Silfverberg/Palmieri/Etem joining Kesler on the 2nd line.
