33- Jakob Silfverberg  (2013-Present)

In 2014 Jakob Silfverberg was traded to the Anaheim Ducks from Ottawa in exchange for Bobby Ryan. As hard as it was for the Ducks to trade a point producer such as Bobby Ryan, the trade certainly worked in their favor.

Although Silfverberg has been rumored to be on the Ducks trading block, let’s push that aside for just a moment and look at the success he’s had while on the roster.

Silfverberg is a defensively minded forward, who has also done a lot to improve his offensive game. In the past five seasons, he has played 317 games in Anaheim, netting 83 goals and adding107 assists. The 190 points he has produced serves as further proof that the Ducks got the better end of the deal.

Silfverberg has been an instrumental building block in the success of the Ducks during the past few seasons. As unfortunate as it is that the Ducks may have to move on from the Swedish forward, he has been a valuable asset to the Anaheim Ducks roster.
