Columbus Blue Jackets' Yegor Chinakhov requests trade, cites 'misunderstandings'
Yegor Chinakhov, a forward from Russia and a former first-round draft pick of the Blue Jackets, has asked for a trade from the franchise. The agent for Chinakhov made a post on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, about the trade request on July 17. 'I had some misunderstandings with the coach during the season,' read the post quoting Chinakhov. '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.' Chinakhov, who was selected with the No. 21 overall selection in 2020, missed nearly half of last season with a back injury, an issue that also sidelined him for the final 17 games in the previous season. NHL SCHEDULE RELEASE: Key dates for 2025-26 season He has not appeared in more than 53 games in a season since he was a rookie in 2021-22. Chinakhov has 34 goals and 37 assists over his four seasons in Columbus with a career-high 16 goals and 13 assists in 2023-24. Get more on the Columbus Blue Jackets with our Cannon Fodder podcast

Columbus Blue Jackets reveal 25th anniversary logo for 2025-26 NHL season
The 2025-26 season will mark the Blue Jackets' 25th anniversary, and on June 17, the team unveiled a logo to honor a quarter-century of team history. Calling it in a press release "a dynamic design that pays tribute to the franchise's legacy," the club did not detail all the ways the logo might be featured. However, the Blue Jackets did share photos of a uniform patch featuring the logo and offered that it will "be prominently featured throughout the team's 2025-26 National Hockey League season." "The newly unveiled logo is encased in an outline of the state of Ohio, reinforcing the Blue Jackets' role as Ohio's sole NHL franchise and proudly representing hockey fans across the state," the Jackets said in their statement. "Inside the emblem," it continued, "a bold number 25 is presented in the Blue Jackets' established font, consistent with the team's uniform identity since the 2017-18 NHL season." The press release further mentioned that the logo incorporates the color silver, the traditional color for 25th anniversaries, and incorporates a metal patina finish, "evoking imagery of medals worn by Union Civil War soldiers, serving as a nod to the Blue Jackets' historical inspiration."

Columbus Blue Jackets to open 2025-26 at Nashville Predators, Minnesota Wild
The Blue Jackets' full schedule for their 25th anniversary season will soon be released, but three games are already confirmed thanks to social media posts from NHL team accounts. According to posts July 16 from the Blue Jackets, Nashville Predators and Minnesota Wild, the Jackets will again start on the road. They'll open the 2025-26 season Oct. 9 at the Nashville Predators, travel North to face the Minnesota Wild on Oct. 11 and return for the home opener Oct. 13 against the New Jersey Devils. Last season, the Blue Jackets split their first two games on the road against the Minnesota Wild and Colorado Avalanche before returning to open the home schedule against the Florida Panthers in a game preceded by an emotional ceremony to honor Johnny and Matthew Gaudreau. The Blue Jackets' full schedule will be released at noon July 16, about three weeks later than previous years when its release coincided with the NHL draft in late June.

Columbus Blue Jackets trade Daniil Tarasov to Florida Panthers for fifth-round pick
A door for Blue Jackets rookie Jet Greaves to land a full-time roster spot in 2025-26 as one of their top two goalies appears to have opened. The Blue Jackets have traded backup goalie Daniil Tarasov to the back-to-back Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers for a fifth-round pick in the 2025 NHL draft, which will be held June 27-28 in Los Angeles. Tarasov, a pending restricted free agent, played sparingly in 2024-25 as Elvis Merzlikins' backup and struggled. He needed a conditioning stint in the AHL to regain his timing after several poor outings led to long stints without playing. The Blue Jackets hold the 14th and 20th picks in the draft's first round June 27, followed six picks on June 28 in rounds 2-7.
