OTTAWA - As of now, Jakob Silfverberg is a great pick in your hockey pool.

Jason Spezza would like to say it's safe to take him.

"If he's my right winger all year, it means things are going well, and he's playing well," Spezza said Sunday of Silfverberg, the rookie Swede who skated with him and Milan Michalek on the Senators first line at Day 1 of training camp. "If you can add depth, it helps. So for the sake of the team, I hope he's our right winger all year."
