Sillinger Locked In for Blue Jackets Future | NHL News
Description
The Columbus Blue Jackets just locked up forward Cole Sillinger on a three-year, $13.875M deal — averaging $4.625M annually — ending arbitration talks and setting him free to become a UFA in 2029. After five NHL seasons, Sillinger’s breakout 2025-26 campaign — career highs in assists and points — solidified his value as a two-way contributor, especially on high-performing lines. Though his future role as center or winger remains fluid, he’s expected to start on the wing with room to shift. With this deal, the Jackets now have cap flexibility to pursue Adam Fantilli and potentially make another move — all while continuing their streak of avoiding arbitration. This marks a key step in building a stable, future-focused roster.
