Whats his story? I know hes a former 1st rounder and hes only 23 but thats about all i know. Any upside possible? Or is he another dud like DSP?

Well the Sens certainly lost the 2011 draft by taking Noesen and Puempel in the first round.
A quick look at his advanced stats makes me really like this move.
Does this mean the Sens are winning the Bobby Ryan trade again?

Shero is a sucker for a reclamation project. Some things never change with that guy.
Injuries have killed his development. He disappointed recently though. Wasn't bad in his brief NHL time. He's not near as quick of a skater as I expected he'd be. Maybe that's the injury, or maybe he just was never as quick as I thought he was.
I consider that trade a win for us. Honestly I'd take Silfverberg over Ryan straight up now. Silfverberg has been phenomenal this year. Been great defensively from the beginning, but has a lot more offensive confidence this year, and it's been a saving grace with Perry sucking. Having Ritchie, who's a very good young player, is just icing on the cake.
That said, I'm not saying we won and Ottawa lost. It's a win for us in that Silfverberg + Ritchie is better than having Ryan. If Ottawa is happy with Ryan over those two, then that's great. Absolutely nothing wrong with win-win trades.
His most important development years were unfortunately derailed by injuries... He was injured every year and when the trade happened, I already thought that he wasn't going to amount to much. He was already seen as a reclamation project in that trade, kind of like Jarrod Maidens who was a Sens 3rd round draft pick in 2012 (but had 1st round talent). It is a risky sport

Don't want to derail this thread so I'll just say this:

He's now the 13th 1st round pick from the 2011 draft that has been moved at least once. That seems high, no?
2010, to my knowledge, has seen seventeen of its first rounders move.
Hall, Seguin, Gudbranson, Johansen, Niederreiter, Connolly, Burmistrov, McIlrath, Campbell, Gormley, Bennett, Tinordi, Pysyk, Hayes, Howden, Coyle, Etem. Not sure about Visentin, and Hishon has already left the league altogether.
For comparision, just six guys from 2012 1st round have moved to date, and five from 2013's (disregarding Nichuskin's departure). We have already seen four trades involving 2014's first round draftees, but beyond that, such moves have not occurred.
Yay...more players who cant score!
