Lol Krejci and Pasta have a corsi for of around 60 when playing together this year and have scored 11 goals for and allowed 4 against. What does it take to impress you?

So what you're saying is he can play like a 1st line center with the right wingers? So like I said, he's a fine 2c.
I know we shouldn't bank on rookies, but I feel like Cehlarik has some chemistry building already with Krejci, and if you can find a solid 3rd on that line then he might be the in house fill in on that 2nd line.

Cehlarik seems to think the game well. But man, he’s a turtle out there.
If him and Jason Allison had a race from the goal line to centre I’m not sure who I’d bet on. I do know I could come back later that day to see the finish
I don't think he's as slow as he's made out to seem - he's not a speedster by any means, but he's fast enough to play in the league and thinks quick enough to overcome it as well - but let's not turn this into a Bruins discussion thread.

Stay-at-home defenseman with zero upside.
If you haven’t been impressed by Krejci and Pasta together...then you must go through life perpetually unimpressed. They are fantastic together.

Lol you’re right I’m sorry.yes Silf but no to a 1st rounder for him.I don't think he's as slow as he's made out to seem - he's not a speedster by any means, but he's fast enough to play in the league and thinks quick enough to overcome it as well - but let's not turn this into a Bruins discussion thread.
2nd and a Heinen and I’ll drive him to Boston

Didn't realize he's an upcoming UFA. This guy would be a smart target for the Oilers in the offseason if he makes it to UFA and they can find a way to open up some cap space. Always thought he had the skill to be a 30-30 guy with a very good 2-way game if given a more offensive role with an elite centre.

No way should that be what the bruins offer for silfverberg. He's a pending ufa having a pretty pedestrian season on an awful team.
Maybe a second and a b level prospect like zboril. Even that feels like an overpayment. I hope Sweeney goes after a bigger fish.

Silf is one of those guys who seem like a low-key player to target with all the big names out there, but one that might just end up doing more for your team than you'd expect - and cost a whole lot less.
Good 2-way player, good shot. His numbers in the playoffs are better than his regular season numbers and that's impressive, 69 games isn't a small sample size. He's got a knack for stepping up his game.

Maybe we can just throw in Getz and Perry your way if you can make the salary work. That would be hilarious. Getz is still beast.
Just throw us a few firsts and some legit prospects. You guys go all in for the next couple of years and then go for a rebuild.
Would be hilarious.

As a ducks fan I can tell you this is spot on. He also is far better than the numbers. Keep in mind he played on a shutdown line with a guy that had zero offensive ability (cogs). They were our best line when Kesler was good. Plus minus was awesome matching up against top lines. It wouldnt be a sexy signing but would make your team a lot better. Ducks fans love him but feel by the time we are out of this hole he will be starting to get older on a 3rd contract. We would be better off with a prospect.

Boyle in NJ: 47 games, 13 goals, 19 points
Silfverberg: 47 games, 12 goals, 20 points
Tell me again why Silfverberg is worth significantly more than Boyle (who is a center) as a rental?

A) Muzzin has 1 more year left on his deal.
B) Muzzin has more points than Silfverberg this year (and last year).
C) Oh yeah...and Muzzin is a defenseman.
Their value is not even close.
Because it may not be a rental in the mind of the team that acquires him. Silfverberg is the type of player you try to sign if you trade for him.

Righteous bucks!
Outside of Pastrnak on Krejci’s right side, Silverberg would be an upgrade over all others Boston have tried.
I'll give you three:
1) A big laugh at evaluating any ducks players stats this year as if they have any meaning.
2) Jakob Silfverberg Hockey Stats and Profile at hockeydb.com
Scroll over to the right to the playoff stats part.
3) Silf is an excellent defensive forward, better than Boyle.
But really, its totally ok if nobody gives a first because we would be glad to keep him.
Because Silfverberg is a consistent 20 goal 40 point player. He is playing on a historically bad offensive team this year. Not to mention that offense is not even what makes him special.
Silfverberg is also a near PPG player in the playoffs in the last 4 seasons or 44 games.
He is worth far more then Boyle as a rental and way more if he is resigned.
