Confirmed with Link: Jakob Silfverberg signed for 4 years (3.75M AAV)

Glad to read that the ducks have silf in their long term plans. Wouldve loved that 6 year contract

 

[Hockey Duckie]

Apparently Anders Lee was the direct comparable.

Edit - I'll link to Stephens' article because it's good and unusually in-depth. Silfverberg says they were on the same page the whole time, no holdup (for those who were sure there was). Silf's agent gives some insight. They skipped arbitration because the only thing to negotiate was term. Ducks wanted 6 years, wouldn't go under 3 years.

Thanks for the link. Epp, Silf's agent, also commented about a possible new CBA as a factor as well for only a 4 year deal, not longer.

Hmm.......................................................Contract leads right to ufa?
Well, we might be in a situation where we have to trade him if we can't extend him in his last year. It's one thing to let a guy like Bels walk for nothing, but Silf in his prime isn't realistic, I doubt BM would let that happen.

Oh, and if he did....




Have a nice weekend

We can worry about it in 3 years. Our team may look completely different in that time depending on whether or not we can win a Cup with this current group.

Great contract!

Unless he regresses he's worth it.

- Our best players were not the best when it came. It was the second year in a row for me and third for the club we went out. Chicago's two top fives were better than our two best and it is about routine and be the best when it comes, we still have a fairly young team.

Interesting

Curious structure. I wonder what's the logic behind it?

Curious structure. I wonder what's the logic behind it?

The Ducks have a ton of cap space this year (cash space) so front loading some of these seem logical to me.

 

[Ducks DVM]

Also, it's more advantageous to the player to get the money earlier than later. The earlier it's earning interest the better, so it's another way to get them to take a lower cap hit.

Curious structure. I wonder what's the logic behind it?

Saving 750K in actual money next year. Every bit Murray can save in that regard will be huge. Something to keep in mind is that Getzlaf, Perry and Kesler all will make more in actual cash than their cap hits next season.

Better not let top dogs read this. That never ends well.
