It has not yet been revealed what the details of the trade are, however, with only one name known, it is likely that the Blue Jackets will acquire a future draft pick for Robinson.
Robinson has 1 goal in 7 games played this season with the Blue Jackets. This is likely part of a longer-term plan for the Blue Jackets to retool.
