It's nice to have at least one or two guys on the roster who can score in the shootouts/ are semi-reliable in that context.
I hate the shootout too, but as long as actual points in the standings are awarded based on an individual skill competition, it's worthwhile to have a few of those specialists on board. It can be the difference between playing playoff hockey and watching it in the golf course clubhouse.
For further information, see: Devils, New Jersey.
Of course, all that aside, Silf has been SUPREMELY disappointing in Anaheim in my eyes, at least as far as the expectations I had for him are concerned. Dude had a spot on a line with Getzlaf and Perry pretty much handed to him on a silver platter, and he somehow found a way to play himself off of that line. Heck, you could even go so far to say that Anaheim's acquisition of Sekac from the Habs is entirely due to Silf's failures to stick in a top-6 role there.

I don't think he has been SUPREMELY disappointing
I don't think he has been SUPREMELY disappointing, Ducks fans love him and are mad at the coach for not giving him PP time. We all know Silfverberg can't bloom offensively 5 on 5 I don't have facts with me but from what I heard he is something like top 5 in powerplay goals for Anaheim but 16th in powerplay time per game. Most of this is blamed on the coach overusing Silf on a shutdown role 5v5 and using him on the first penalty kill unit that he can't really play him on the powerplay, Silf was thrown into a shutdown role since he got there. He is my favourite player so I try to watch ducks games a lot and I see just that he's not thrown into positions to strive offensively, im sure you probably watch West Coast games a lot due to your time zone.
I think I just had high expectations for him, and I don't think he's progressed nearly as well as I thought he would.
