Jakob Silfverberg and Johan Larsson

[Big Ev]

Based on his play last night. I'd say Silfverberg is ready to take a regular top 6 shift in NHL come October, but he's definitely NOT ready to jump in to game 6 of a playoff matchup.

agreed. he did look ok defensively though, and his skating looked good (which was what they said was the difference between him being a third liner or Top 6 forward). But this isn't the time to be testing and evaluating prospects unless you think they will help.

I can see them keeping him in for Game 7. The difference between him and the others (Butler, Stone) is small, and neither player will get a lot of ice time. Maybe they think he improves after his first experience of NHL, two days of rest, and adjusting to the time difference. Last night he was playing the game at like midnight.

I don't think they bring him over to Ottawa if they didn't want to use him for the long haul.

Game 7, 5 min left and Silfverberg is on a line with Spezza and Michalek. Not bad for a rook.

So how does he compare to Zibanejad? Which one would you want to own going into next year?

100th anniversary of his team, Brynas. So one player got to wear 100.

At first captain Andreas Dackell wore the #100 but when he went down with injury the captaincy and #100 went to alternate captain Silfverberg.
