Nothing is official yet, but all signs seem to indicate that Jakob Silfverberg will re-sign with the Ducks on a 5 year deal with a $5.25 Million AAV.
This is not a good move for the franchise moving forward for a variety of reasons. First and foremost is the cap situation this contract puts the Ducks in.
The Ducks have not announced the deal yet and will not until after the trade deadline on Monday due to tagging complications that come from this contract. For those who are unaware, tagging refers to a team not being able to commit more money to next year’s team than this season’s salary cap.
