Cole Sillinger has been a scoring machine and would give the LA Kings another talented forward. He’s a true goal scorer with a heavy, accurate shot.

A big-time shot, Cole Sillinger could be one of the sleepers in this draft. He’ll likely go just outside the top ten, but the LA Kings could grab him earlier than projected because he’s that good. He’s one of the youngest players in this draft class, but he had the fourth-most points on the Medicine Hat Tigers (53) in 14 fewer games during the 19-20 season.

Sillinger has a knack for scoring, whether it’s from the high slot or off a rebound in front of the net. There’s so much to like about his game. He’s aggressive on the forecheck and can create turnovers in the attacking zone. His shot is so heavy that opposing goalies are susceptible to allowing rebounds, creating scoring chances for his teammates.

Cole Sillinger, C/LW
