Columbus Notes: Chinakhov, Jaskin, Contracts

April 24, 2021 at 6:25 pm CDT | by Gavin Lee 6 Comments

The Columbus Blue Jackets were officially eliminated from postseason contention earlier this week, meaning there isn’t a lot left to watch in their last seven games. The team has lost eight straight, has several key players already on the shelf due to injury, and traded their captain at the deadline. Still, young players are the ones to be excited about as they attempt to establish themselves for the future.

Another one of the team’s top prospect could be in North America soon, as Brian Hedger of the Columbus Dispatch reports that a decision will be made by Yegor Chinakhov after the Gagarin Cup Finals on whether to sign an entry-level contract with the Blue Jackets. The series is currently tied 2-2 between CSKA and Chinakhov’s Avangard Omsk.

  • Reports have surfaced recently about Dmitrij Jaskin’s desire to return to the NHL next season, but it won’t be with the Blue Jackets. Hedger reports that Columbus is not on Jaskin’s list of potential destinations. The 28-year-old forward has scored 123 points in his two seasons in the KHL and has been linked to the Arizona Coyotes.
  • One of the interesting notes after a busy trade deadline is how many contracts the Blue Jackets have shed to this point. Columbus is last in the league with just 41 NHL deals handed out, including just six signed players who are not either on the active roster, injured reserve, or taxi squad. With 17 of those contracts set to expire at the end of this season, GM Jarmo Kekalainen has a lot of work to do (and a lot of flexibility) in order to fill out the organizational depth chart.

    Hmmm, seems Jaskin isn’t exactly in the drivers seat in choosing who to play for. My guess is the options are limited.

    Forget it Jarmo, it’s Chinakhov.
