Signed a two-year, $4.2 million contract extension with the Blue Jackets in June of 2024.
First point since return
Chinakhov logged an assist in Friday's 6-3 loss to the Penguins.
ANALYSIS
This was Chinakhov's first point in eight contests since he returned from a 39-game absence due to an upper-body injury. He's gone minus-8 with 13 shots on net since his return, which also saw him scratched once due to poor performance. He's still nominally on the second line, but he saw just 12:07 of ice time Friday and hasn't exceeded 14:31 in any outing since he came off injured reserve. The 24-year-old winger is at 15 points, 68 shots on net, 47 hits and a minus-6 rating through 29 appearances this season. He's at risk of getting lost in the shuffle for the Blue Jackets, who will likely integrate more prospects for the 2025-26 campaign.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2022
Despite his 2023-24 being bookended by injuries, Chinakhov took a step forward with 16 goals and 13 assists in 53 appearances in his third year with the Blue Jackets. The forward finally got a chance at some top-six minutes, averaging 15:10 of ice time per game. At 23 years old, there's still room for more growth in his game, especially if the Blue Jackets can claw their way out of the bottom of the Metropolitan Division. If he shakes off the upper-body injury that ended his campaign and avoids further lengthy absences, he could challenge for a 20-goal, 40-point year in 2024-25.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Requests a trade
Per the Shumi Babaev Agency on Thursday, Chinakhov has asked for a trade out of Columbus.
ANALYSIS
Chinahkov had difficulties with head coach Dean Evason. The 24-year-old stated that he "had some misunderstandings with the coach during the season" and wants to play elsewhere, preferably in the NHL. Chinakhov had seven goals and eight assists across 30 regular-season games with the Blue Jackets in 2024-25. General manager Don Waddell acknowledged the request from Chinahkov but said that he would only trade the Russian if there was an acceptable offer from another team.
