On Chinakhov’s deal
Puck Pedia: Columbus Blue Jackets signing of Yegor Chinakhov to a three-year entry-level deal kicks in this season and it doesn’t slide.
- Aaron Portzline: Since Chinakov is 20-years old, his contract starts immediately. There is no way that Chinakhov would get his visa in place to play any games for the Blue Jackets this season.
