Cole Sillinger of the Columbus Blue Jackets on Saturday became the 15th and final player to sign a contract with his respective team after filing for salary arbitration on July 5.
The 23-year-old forward signed a three-year, $13.875 million contract (average annual value $4.625 million). He had 33 points (eight goals, 25 assists) in 81 games for the Blue Jackets last season.
