This is true (although I don't know about the skating part). Da Costa's just a quietly dangerous player. Like a more offensive Winnie. Silf is flashier but he relies a bit heavily on lower percentage shots from a distance.
Odd comparison

It'll be interested to see how things develop. Would DaCosta be able to transfer to the wing? I think he can but his passing ability and vision could be most effective at the center position. He is also strong defensively with that active stick. Could be best used as a huge bargaining chip for a trade but let's hope things work out well.
Or have him as the 3rd line center?
-Spezza-
-Turris-
-Costa-
-Smith/Grant-
I'd like to see Regin-Da Costa-Stone as our 3rd line... would confuse defenses a lot
