The Anaheim Ducks are trying to get forward Jakob Silfverberg locked up to a new contract extension and it appears talks may be moving in the right direction.

Silfverberg, 28, is in the final-year of a four-year, $15 million contract and is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent July 1. If the Ducks can’t get him locked up to a new deal, they’ll likely have to move him by the Feb. 25 trade deadline.

According to TSN Hockey Insider Pierre LeBrun, though, “talks are progressing” and the Ducks hope they can reach a new deal with Silfverberg.
