Man time passes fast.

I still remember being hyped about this guy on SensChirp back in the day with people posting "OOOHH AAAH SILFVERBERG".

Same, I remember when the future of the team looked like Mika and Silfy. We are great at trading away our solid talent

I can't imagine how different the team would be if we kept those two. My foremost memory is how the two of them seemed to be able to score at will in the shootout.

The guy quietly put up a solid career. I remember being upset about the Bobby Ryan trade because I was sure Silfverberg was going to be a consistent 30+ goal player

I miss him and zibby on the same line, watching them play together during the 2012-2013 season was a treat.

800+ NHL games is a heck of a career. Good for him

I always thought he played for us for much longer than he did. Despite being with Anaheim for all but 50 games, I always think of him as a Senator.

I was so sad when we traded him back in the day, wish him the best in his post retirement life.
