Unveiled: The Shocking NHL Centers Rankings That Could Reshape the Playoff Race
Mostly, what we need to see is Fantilli and Sillinger offering the substance in the middle-six necessary to bring Columbus into above-average territory. Fantilli looks like a future star with this production (with his top comp being Dylan Larkin), but his two-way game is still lacking. The same thing goes for Sillinger, who’s had his fair share of struggles at five-on-five.
While Boone Jenner is an option to solidify things, it might be prudent for the Blue Jackets to look at a defensively capable bottom-six center to keep things steady. Betting on growth from Fantilli and Sillinger is the way to go, but it wouldn’t hurt to have a safety net in case they struggle again.
