Chinakhov was acquired by Pittsburgh from Columbus on Monday in exchange for Danton Heinen, a 2026 second-round pick and a 2027 third-round selection.
Scouting Report
Continues to show a good enough shot to score from distance and pick corners, and he has the speed to get himself open and make fast cuts that get him past defenders. The Russian forward's high-end instincts make him dangerous anywhere in the attacking zone. Like most young players, he will need to improve his defensive game and play away from the puck to truly realize his potential. He is also learning a new language.
Long Range Potential: Sharpshooting winger with upside.
