Chinakhov, 24, was a first-round pick, 21st overall, by the Blue Jackets in 2020. He has 37 goals, 77 points in 204 NHL games, but he has had a prickly relationship with Columbus coach Dean Evason and reportedly has asked for a trade over the past several months.
The 6-foot-1, 203-pound Russian has three goals, three assists in 29 games this season.
