Writer Vivek Kalia lists five potential trade destinations for Columbus Blue Jackets winger Dmitri Voronkov, naming Montreal, Edmonton, Vegas, Utah, and Tampa Bay. The 26-year-old forward has reportedly fallen out of favor in Columbus and become a healthy scratch early in the 2026–27 season. Carrying a $4.175 million salary cap hit, Voronkov is scheduled to reach restricted free agency in 2027.

Kalia identifies the Montreal Canadiens as the most realistic landing spot due to their organizational depth and forward needs. While Edmonton and Tampa Bay could benefit from his offensive depth, salary-cap limitations present significant obstacles. Kalia suggests that Columbus would likely target a young, NHL-ready player alongside draft assets in any potential trade.
