Contract talks are progressing between pending unrestricted free agent Jakob Silfverberg and the Anaheim Ducks, according to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun.
The 28-year-old is in the final year of a four-year, $15 million deal that carries a cap hit of $3.75 million.
Silfverberg has appeared in 42 games this season for the Ducks and has scored 12 goals and added seven assists with a minus-9 rating.
He was selected in the second round, 39th overall of the 2009 NHL Entry Draft by the Ottawa Senators.
The Ducks acquired the Gavle, Sweden native in a July 2013 trade along with Stefan Noesen and a first round pick in exchange for Bobby Ryan.
Silfverberg posted career highs in both goals and assists in 2016-17 when he tallies 23 goals and 26 assists.
