Where are you getting that? He is widely regarded as one of the better defensive wingers in the game today. He has received Selke votes in each of the last three seasons. He is also a relatively strong penalty killer.
Silfverberg gets absolutely hammered in terms of zone starts (37 oSZ%)
He would be a fantastic fit next to Backlund and Tkachuck. He's also a big time playoff performer.
