Cole Sillinger Re-Signs With Blue Jackets For Two Years
Columbus Blue Jackets center Cole Sillinger has signed a two-year, $4.5 million deal with the team. The 21-year-old finally has his future sorted out after spending most of the summer as a restricted free agent. Despite his young age, Sullinger already has 220 games of NHL experience. He has registered 34 goals and 74 points while averaging close to 1.5 hits per game. Sullinger is projected to start the season on the third line and should be good for 30 points and 100-plus hits again.
Columbus Blue Jackets center Cole Sillinger (upper body) is expected to miss a second consecutive game Sunday versus Boston. The 20-year-old is considered day-to-day and will have the next opportunity to return on Tuesday versus Los Angeles. Sillinger has had his best outings of the season in recent games, bagging four of his nine points in his last seven appearances. Mathieu Olivier entered the lineup in Sillinger's absence on Friday against Ottawa.
Columbus Blue Jackets center Cole Sillinger might have to start the 2023-24 campaign in the AHL, writes Brian Hedger of The Columbus Dispatch. The 20-year-old still remains waivers exempt and Sillinger could use some time away from the big league to regain his confidence. Following a 31-point debut campaign, the Columbus-born forward had a bad sophomore slump in 2022-23, posting only 11 points (three goals, eight assists) in 64 games. He ended up finishing the season with the Cleveland Monsters in the minors, notching six points (two goals, four assists) in 11 outings. Hedger also mentions Nick Blankenburg, Tim Berni, Liam Foudy, and Emil Bemstrom as players who might not make the Blue Jackets roster for the start of the season despite seeing regular NHL action in 2022-23.
Columbus Blue Jackets center Cole Sillinger will return to the lineup for Tuesday's clash against Nashville. The young forward has been a healthy scratch for a couple of games but is getting a new opportunity at the expense of Liam Foudy. Sillinger's season hasn't gone well at all as he sits on seven points through 38 games. He has been averaging only 12:48 ice time for the campaign, which hasn't helped his cause. Sillinger will be the third-line center Tuesday, skating between Kirill Marchenko and Emil Bemstrom.
Columbus Blue Jackets center Cole Sillinger (upper body) will be back in the lineup Thursday versus the Islanders. He was sidelined for the past three games with an upper-body injury. The 19-year-old is having a tough campaign, sitting on only six points through 30 games. He's been stuck in the bottom six and will return Thursday also in a fourth-line role. Sillinger has a lot of upside, but fantasy managers should leave him on the waiver wire at present.
Columbus Blue Jackets forward Cole Sillinger finished with a goal and an assist in Wednesday's 5-1 victory against the Canadiens. The 18-year-old made his impact in the third period as he recorded both of his points in the final frame to help the Blue Jackets win by a four-goal margin. Sillinger carries significant value in dynasty leagues as the 12th overall draft selection from 2021 is finishing up his first season in the NHL.

Columbus Blue Jackets forward Cole Sillinger recorded his first career hat trick in Sunday's 6-4 victory against the Golden Knights. Sillinger led the way offensively in the high-scoring contest with a pair of goals less than two minutes apart in the second period to complete the hat trick. The 18-year-old is the youngest player in the NHL this season, and the rookie is a valuable piece in dynasty formats as opposed to standard redraft leagues for the remainder of the season.
