Player Discussion: Yegor Chinakhov

[Iron Balls McGinty]

In al honesty, I'm almost forgetting this guy is on the team. If feel bad that he just has one long term injury after another.

I like Yegor a lot, but maybe it's time to trade him. Permanent injuries are not helping his play and we need a player who is healthy. I'd trade him for Emil Heineman right away, but Montreal would never do it.

Habs would do it in a heartbeat lol . It’s not like his contract is an anchor . You don’t trade that kind of talent and upside while the value is low. You just wait and hope for the best.

I hope Yegor will be healthy, I like him a lot, but he's not a top talent (honestly, we don't have him, the first line benefits from great chemistry) and injuries like this don't help the team. I'm pretty sad about that because he and Sillinger have great chemistry and could make a great third line.

I hope I'm talking nonsense, Yegor will be fine soon and won't have any more health problems, he's an extremely talented player.

Plenty of nonsense.

Your comments on Chinakhov in relation to Laine are borderline unbelievable.

He’s absolutely a “top talent” and does not even have any sort of established injury issues or history.

Chinakhov? I love him as a player but he absolutely has established injury issues. He hasn't even remotely come close to playing a full season.

He's missed 63 NHL games in the 3 seasons before this year due to injury. He's easier to like and a much better overall player than Laine but he has very real injury concerns

That said randomly trading him for a meh depth guy is ridiculous. If he is to be moved it will be as part of a big fish trade

 

[ColumbusTrill]

I'm trying to recall specifics of his other injuries. The only one I'm remembering is when he got is ankle landed on awkwardly. Not much he coulda done there

 

[Iron Balls McGinty]

All I know right now is they aren't really saying what this one is. I recall someone saying he got accidentally kicked in the head by skate. If it is a concussion and he hasn't recovered to play again for a month I have serious concerns about his future in this sport. Rick Nash retired with post concussion symptoms that lingered for a long time.

I hope its not the case but nobody is even coming close to saying anything about his "upper body injury"

 

[Indy18]

We are very very hush hush when it comes to concussion. I wouldn't be shocked if there is some concussion issues which, once again, is very important to player health so I don't mind if that's truly the case.

It strikes me as a long time to not have more info from the club, but it doesn't strike me as a long time to recover from a concussion. We have guys deal with them every year, and most recover well. Some don't, I understand the concern.

 

[EXTRAS]

Trading him for injury issues is weird. He only makes 2.1m so it's not like it's blocking cbj from getting more talent.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Don’t agree with the thought of trading or shopping him but you clearly can’t count on him to play the majority of the season. We will need more depth

 

[ViD]

To be frank, we don’t even know the extent of his current injury, maybe he fell at home when taking a shower

Yeah. if that is what it is, the longer it takes to recover, it makes me wonder if there next one happens will it be even longer, or will it ever go away. It's not something you want to mess with in the wrong way for sure.
