2024 Fantasy Outlook
Selected with the No. 12 overall pick in the 2021 NHL Entry Draft, Sillinger was able to jump straight from the USHL to the NHL in 2021-22, but he hasn't become an impact player at the top level. He has 32 goals and 74 points through 220 career NHL contests, including 13 goals and 32 points across 77 games in 2023-24. While he did set a career high in points last season, he was averaging 16:07 of ice time, up from 13:32 over his first two campaigns, so it's somewhat disappointing that he didn't do more with those increased responsibilities. Still, he's just 21 years old, so there's a lot of time left for him to come into his own. Pencil him in for about 40 points, and take him earlier than others in that production range due to his upside. Read Past Outlooks

Sillinger agreed to terms on a two-year, $4.5 million contract with Columbus on Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Sillinger bounced back from a disappointing sophomore campaign, having recorded just 11 points in 64 games in 2022-23, with a 32-point 2023-24 season that included a career-best 19 helpers. The 21-year-old Columbus native is poised to remain in a middle-six role heading into the upcoming year and should be capable of continuing to put up 30-plus points in addition to 100-plus hits.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2023
2022
The former No. 12 overall pick in 2021, Sillinger had a tough year in 2022-23. He had just three goals and 11 points in 64 games. The lowlight of his season was a 45-game goalless drought from mid-November to mid-March. That said, expectations were probably a bit out of hand after Sillinger's 16-goal, 31-point rookie campaign as an 18-year-old. Sillinger will play this entire season at age 20, so there's no need to panic, but it's far from a guarantee he will start the 2023-24 campaign with the big club. Either way, Sillinger has no fantasy value in redraft formats.
Selected No. 12 overall by Columbus in the 2021 Draft, Sillinger immediately stepped into the lineup as an 18-year-old and performed exceptionally well given his youth. He finished the year with 16 goals and 31 points in 79 games. Sillinger's minus-22 rating was horrific and the Jackets were careful about not overloading him with too much playing time, but both of those things will correct themselves over time. It will be interesting to see how much Columbus is willing to increase Sillinger's role this coming season. He's unquestionably one of the organization's most valuable long-term assets, although he's still a better keeper/dynasty prospect than redraft pick.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Might re-sign soon
CColumbus Blue Jackets
August 19, 2024
Sillinger, who is a restricted free agent, might sign a new contract in a day or two, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports Monday.
ANALYSIS
Sillinger is coming off his entry-level contract. Portzline was previously told that Sillinger's new deal would be a two-year agreement, but it's possible that the terms might have changed. The 21-year-old forward had 13 goals, 32 points, 46 PIM, 74 blocked shots and 119 hits in 77 contests with the Blue Jackets last season. The 21-year-old has untapped offensive upside and might begin the upcoming campaign in a middle-six role.
