Cole Sillinger Signs 3-Year, $13.875M Extension with Blue Jackets

Forward Cole Sillinger has signed a three-year, $13.875 million contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets, successfully avoiding a scheduled arbitration hearing. The 23-year-old, a 2021 first-round pick, solidified his role on the team's third line last season after transitioning from center to left wing. Sillinger recorded a career best-matching 33 points, including eight goals and 25 assists, and will remain in Columbus under the terms of this new agreement reached on Friday.
