Yegor Chinakov to where...
Per his agent on Twitter
Yegor Chinakhov:
I had some misunderstandings with the coach during the season. Now I would be glad to have a trade. I would like to move to a different location.
Will I return to Russia? As long as I can play in the NHL, I will keep developing here
@BlueJacketsNHL
Most logical destinations:
Colorado - agent has 2 prospects; MacFarland used to Jackets' general manager; Waddell already made trade this summer for Coyle and Wood.
Philadelphia - agent has Zamula; young Russian in Mitckov is there
New Jersey - agent has prospect under entry level deal; Devils want turnover
Pittsburgh - agent has prospect; could be part of rebuild; need scoring with Malkin's final season
Florida - relationship with Zito; could Rodrigues come back?
NY Rangers - relationship with Gavrikov from playing days; Russian reunion with Panarin, Shesterkin?
Tampa Bay - played with Bjorkstrand with Columbus; has Russion unit with Kucherov + Vaslievsky
Carolina - played with Robinson in Columbus; Russians including Svechinkov and Nishkin looking for scoring to get over the hump.
Could there be a Chinny and Klim Kostin reunion? Won the Gargarian Cup in the KHL together.
