Cole Sillinger's one of the draft's best shooters, with the potential to become so much more

In January, with the WHL’s season uncertain, top 2021 NHL Draft prospect Cole Sillinger joined the USHL’s Sioux Falls Stampede.

In a new environment with uncertainty and health concerns abound, it’s forgivable for these prospects to struggle. Many have, and that’s going to weigh into EliteProspects’ next draft rankings.

Cole Sillinger will suffer no such qualifier. He's scored 20 goals and added 18 assists in just 24 games. His 1.58 point per game clip sits eighth among under-18 skaters in the past two decades on USHL hockey.
