In the swirling vortex of NHL trade rumors, a particular speculation has been gaining traction: the Toronto Maple Leafs are considering a trade sending Nick Robertson to the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for Boone Jenner.
This rumor was recently fueled on the “Real Kyper and Bourne” radio show, where the hosts suggested that it might be time for the Leafs to part ways with Robertson.
Robertson, a promising young forward, has struggled to secure a top-six spot in the Leafs’ lineup. The general consensus among experts is that a change of scenery might be exactly what he needs to rejuvenate his career. The Blue Jackets, with their focus on building a strong, young core, could be the perfect fit for him.
On the other side of this rumored deal is Boone Jenner, the heart-and-soul player currently sidelined with a fractured jaw. Despite his injury, Jenner’s value to any team is indisputable. Known for his leadership and gritty play style, Jenner could bring a new dynamic to the Leafs’ roster. His return to the lineup is eagerly anticipated, and the timing could align perfectly with the NHL trade deadline.
Analyzing the Maple Leafs’ Potential Trade: Nick Robertson for Boone Jenner
The potential addition of Jenner to the Leafs is intriguing. He could slot seamlessly into their third line, alongside Max Domi and Calle Jarnkrok, adding depth and experience. This move could bolster the Leafs’ forward group, providing them with the sort of versatile player who can be a difference-maker in crucial moments, especially during the playoffs.
The implications of such a trade are far-reaching. For the Maple Leafs, acquiring Jenner would signify a commitment to shoring up their middle-six forwards, an area that has been a point of contention among fans and analysts alike.
For the Blue Jackets, gaining Robertson might signal a long-term investment in their youth movement, banking on his potential to develop into a top-tier player.
While trade rumors are always rife with uncertainty, the prospect of a Nick Robertson for Boone Jenner trade raises some fascinating possibilities for both the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Columbus Blue Jackets.

Robertson has shown he has the talent to be a 7, and or 6. Insertable into a number 4 or higher. He has the natural ability too be a top 6 player. He needs to have a year to prove it. The chance to work and build his natural talent. Where as Bruce Jenner would be a working the third line or a top 6 player and a replacement for Matthew Knies and Matt with Travers and Tyler Bratuzie(you will have excuse me for any name misspelling)
Everyone has an opinion but that doesn’t mean it’s right
If Columbus were to consider moving Jenner. Robertson would not be nearly enough to get him. In fact, I question why any NHL team would pursue Robertson. He has not shown an ability to be a regular NHL player, let alone as a potential top six guy. Anyone thinking that a tough competitor like Jenner could be acquired for a borderline bottom six guy like Robertson is dreaming.
