Cole Sillinger Facts

Cap Hit: $4,625,000Powered by
NHL Rights: Columbus Blue Jackets / Signed
Drafted: 2021 round 1 #12 overall by Columbus Blue Jackets

His wrist shot release is especially potent, with a short draw, feet pointed at the net, adequate knee-bend, a hip-snap, his leg kicked back, and exploding from his chest. It’s a sight to behold. Sillinger makes the best of this shot with some stellar off of the puck instincts, an often overpowering wall game, and a penchant for driving the centre lane of the offensive zone. -EliteProspects 2021 NHL Draft Guide
