Silfverberg for game four? It's looking more and more like a possibility.
Hopefully we need some actual top 6 players. Sad thing is I don't want to be relying on a rookie to come and save the day, but any assistance would be appreciated.

I don't think anybody expects him to save the day, by any means. Thing is, depth is huge in the playoffs. You need to find goals in different places. Adding a player with that kind of a shot never hurts, in my opinion. Our powerplay has been brutal, and he's definitely a guy that could help in that area.
As it stands, Daugavins, Butler, Konopka and Klinkhammer are the guys most likely to rotate in and out of the lineup. I prefer Klinkhammer over the others, but Silfverberg over all four on the grounds that he's got a better shot, playmaking ability and is no worse defensively than any of the aforementioned. He's also been a dominant player in a men's league against tough competition when it counts the most.
That being said, it's been mentioned that he may be having shoulder issues. We'll have to see how serious it is.

Fun fact: Anders Forsberg, former Ottawa scout and the guy who recomended the sens to draft Silfverberg, is coaching the other team.

God forbid Alfie's out for an extended period of time but if he is, I could see Silf drawing in (given how he projects and how management felt he could have played in Ottawa this year).
