Cole Sillinger Avoids Arbitration, Agrees to 3-Year, $13.8M Deal with Blue Jackets
The deal gives Columbus about $14.5 million in salary-cap space as it works to re-sign top center Adam Fantilli.
- On Friday, July 24, 2026, the Columbus Blue Jackets signed forward Cole Sillinger to a three-year, $13.875 million contract extension, avoiding a salary arbitration hearing scheduled for Monday.
- Selected 12th overall in 2021, the 23-year-old Sillinger has spent all five of his NHL seasons in Columbus, transitioning from center to left wing last season to bring versatility to the lineup.
- Sillinger recorded 33 points last season, matching his career-best, and has accumulated 51 goals across 367 career games as he works to recapture his junior-level scoring prowess.
- The Blue Jackets re-signed goalie Jet Greaves to a three-year, $15 million extension one day before this agreement, providing president/general manager Don Waddell greater roster stability heading into the season.
- With about $14.5 million in salary-cap space remaining, Columbus aims to sign center Adam Fantilli, while forward Isac Lundestrom will start the season on injured reserve recovering from Achilles surgery.
