Blue Jackets Finalizing Trade to Move Yegor Chinakhov
The Columbus Blue Jackets are reportedly finalizing a trade that would move unhappy forward Yegor Chinakhov.
According to NHL insider Pierre LeBrun, “The Blue Jackets are finalizing a trade involving Igor Chinakov [Yegor Chinakhov]. Columbus is getting draft picks back.” The news comes after months of uncertainty surrounding the unhappy forward, who had asked for a trade earlier this season.
Interestingly, it wasn’t long ago that LeBrun also reported that when teams called earlier this year, I don’t think Columbus wanted just a draft pick for Chinakhov. They wanted a player. But now that they’ve spent a second-round pick…on Marchment, they might be OK recouping a second-round pick.
