The Blue Jackets have $16M in cap space, and haven’t made any huge additions this summer.
Trading for Robertson and adding him to the good young core in Columbus could be just what they need.
He would fit in with a top-six that already projects to include Adam Fantilli, Kirill Marchenko, Kent Johnson, and Cayden Lindstrom at some point down the road.
Robertson hasn’t been able to crack the NHL lineup consistently for the Leafs. This past season, he played 69 games which was a career high. On a team like Columbus, Robertson would probably play almost every night.
