TSN: Silfverberg Expected to re-sign with the Ducks
- Thread starter justafan22
- Start date
Resigning him is just dumb unless it is an absolute killer deal without a NTC.
And, you would have to assume that this means Henrique of Fowler are on the move.

They don't currently have enough tagging room to officially extend Silfverberg as of now.
Their forward group includes Getzlaf, Perry, Kesler, Eaves, Henrique, Rackell, Kase, Shore, Rowney, Sprong, Ritchie for next season. And expect Terry, Jones, Steel, Comtois to make it. Eaves due to medical condition likely on LTIR. That’s still 14 players without Silfverberg. Not sure they need both Silfverberg and Henrique.
No one is taking Kesler off their hands unless there is either retention or contract going the other way. Same with Perry and both guys hold nmc.
$10 million in cap space. Need a backup goalie and they have elc Dmen coming up to take the bottom pairing. And Eaves should be in LTIR.
Cap space isn’t an issue. Just whether they really should be returning the same group. Only Cogs has been moved out of their veteran group.

I’m ok with him signing if they can move the Henrique contract off the books. Positions aside Silf is a more valuable player.

I agree with this. Would be happy to keep Silf for the right amount but only if we're moving another older contract.
Either way, I love me some Silfverberg and would hate to see him in another jersey at this point.

Interesting rule. Don't think this applies to many teams around the league at any point (can think of Marner and the Leafs, but that is it).
I don't know why you would extend him now. Get the futures for him and be done with it. Unless this is a tactic to drive up the price, of course.
I would rather that they move Fowler's contract.

I'm really hoping the extension is in place but we trade him now and sign him in the offseason.

How much is Silfverberg's re-signing expected to be? According to capfriendly, Ducks have $6.6M to work around before the tagging rule takes affect.

Teams can't allocate more future cap than what the current cap ceiling is.
Current cap ceiling is $79.5M, Ducks have $72.9M in cap hits already accounted for for next season.

Me too, Detroit will gladly take hometown kid Cam Fowler off your hands. What would the Ducks want from us.
You know it Gliff. We can’t afford Silfverberg as is. Murray has to clear some salary. Ducks literally got 55 grand in Cap Space as I type this.
Fowler and Henrique both likely are on the move.
We already discussed this. We don’t have money for Nyquist after this resigning, and you won’t give us your first. So what the heck?

The fourth period already said Henrique is gaining a lot of interest. I can see Montreal and Hurricanes taking him.
This may be the first time that website was right about something. As it’s seeming like it’s going in that direction.

absolutely stupid move to re-sign him. Murray gets too attached to players and won't move them when he needs to.
