The Detroit Red Wings could add another goal-scoring forward in the lineup, as we see a trade pitch that involves the team acquiring a 1st-round pick of the Columbus Blue Jackets in a one-for-one swap.<\/p>\n
Despite their hot start to the NHL regular season, with a 5-2 record, the team has to keep the ranks fresh.<\/p>\n
Heavy.com<\/a> supplied the idea, albeit a little too far-fetched in our opinion, for a forward who still has high upside, which Dean Evason isn’t ready to tap into, apparently.Red Wings Acquire:<\/p>\n Yegor Chinakhov ($2.1 million)<\/p>\n Blue Jackets Acquire:<\/p>\n Erik Gustafsson<\/a> ($2 million)<\/p>\n The Columbus Blue Jackets Send Yegor Chinakhov to the Detroit Red Wings<\/p>\n The Detroit Red Wings make out spectacularly on the deal, as they would receive Yegor Chinakhov, who can play in the top six and on the power-play.<\/p>\n Though he did have a down year last season, he can easily rebound as a healthy forward in the lineup.<\/p>\n Last season, in 30 games, he scored 15 points (7-8), and his clash with<\/a> Dean Evason has caused him to request a trade in the media.Now, Erik Gustafsson would get a fresh start and add some ancillary help to the blueline. This deal seems unlikely, as they already have aging blueliners in Erik Gudbranson<\/a> and Ivan Provorov<\/a> (who was an overpay).<\/p>\n \u00bbThe 6-foot-1, 203 lb forward was initially drafted 21st overall by the Blue Jackets in 2020. This season, he has one assist in three games, averaging 8:41 per game.\u00bb<\/p>\n The deal seems like something you’d pull off on EA NHL, because the Blue Jackets and Don Waddell would want their pound of flesh for a 21st overall pick.<\/p>\n Gustafsson would add a third line style of play for the Blue Jackets, scoring 18 points in 60 games last season, while playing 16:19 time on ice.<\/p>\n Previously on Red Wings Insider<\/p>\n POLL<\/p>\n 1 HOUR AGO\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0\u00a031 ANSWERS<\/p>\n Proposed trade pitch sees the Red Wings acquire a goal-scoring machine from the Blue Jackets<\/p>\n Do you think the Detroit Red Wings should trade for forward Yegor Chinakhov of the Columbus Blue Jackets?<\/p>\n <\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\tREDWINGSINSIDER.COM
