Just when we thought the Blue Jackets roster was mostly set, a trade request has arisen from Russian winger Yegor Chinakhov. Despite the player's request however, the Blue Jackets might be wise to hang onto him. After all, there's only one type of trade that would make sense for them.
Since being selected in the first round (#21 overall) by the Jackets at the 2020 NHL Draft, it seems like we have been waiting for Chinakhov to unlock his full potential. He will show us flashes of true top-six scoring potential, and then follow it up by a stretch of inconsistent play.
