Career

Jakob Silfverberg began his career as a hockey player in his hometown in the youth department of Brynäs IF , for whose professional team he made his debut in the Elitserien in the 2008/09 season . In a total of 17 games, he scored three goals and provided an assist in his rookie year . He was then selected in the NHL Entry Draft 2009 in the second round as a total of 39th player by the Ottawa Senators . Initially, however, the winger stayed with his home club and scored nine goals and nine assists in 53 games in his first full season in professional ice hockey in the 2009/10 season . Then the scouts in Russia became aware of the Swede. In the KHL Junior Draft 2010 he was finally selected in the second round as the 46th player by HK CSKA Moscow . In the 2010/11 season he was able to improve again. With 38 scorer points, including 18 goals, in a total of 58 games, he made it into the senior national team.

On May 30, 2011, he signed a three-year contract with the Ottawa Senators from the National Hockey League . In the 2011/12 season, however , he initially continued to run for his home club Brynäs IF in the Elitserien. The winger finished this season with a record of 54 points in 49 games of the regular season as the second best point collector in the league after top scorer Robert Rosén and was then awarded the Guldhjälmen as the most valuable player in the Elitserien.

In the 2012/13 season , Silfverberg finally moved to the Ottawa Senators organization. In July 2013 he was transferred to the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for Bobby Ryan, together with Stefan Noesen and a first-round right to vote in the 2014 NHL Entry Draft .

In August 2015, the Swede signed a new four-year contract with the Ducks that should earn him an average annual salary of $ 3.75 million. This was extended for a further five years in March 2019, with it being expected to receive 5.25 million US dollars per year from the start of the 2019/20 season.
