Robinson was traded to Buffalo from Columbus on Wednesday, Lance Lysowski of The Buffalo News reports. In exchange, the Blue Jackets will receive a conditional 2025 seventh-round pick.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson has a goal, 19 hits and three blocks in seven contests with Columbus this season. He's expected to join the Sabres in Boston ahead of Thursday's contest against the Bruins, per Lysowski. The Sabres will likely use Robinson in a bottom-six capacity.

Robinson scored the game-winning goal in Friday's 2-1 victory over the Devils.
EDGE Analysis
All the scoring came in the first period, and Robinson's tally came with just 37 seconds left in the frame -- Justin Danforth found him wide open at the New Jersey blue line with a pass from the Columbus end, and Robinson finished his breakaway by going top shelf over Akira Schmid's glove. It was Robinson's first NHL goal of the season in three games. He has spent most of the season with AHL Cleveland. Robinson, who had 12 goals in 72 games last season, offers decent depth to the organization, but as the Blue Jackets improve their talent base with additions such as Adam Fantilli and Dmitri Voronkov, players like Robinson get squeezed out of regular roles.

EDGE Analysis
Robinson has one goal and three helpers in nine AHL outings this season. He logged 11:30 of ice time in Columbus' 4-2 loss to Philadelphia on Opening Night prior to being dropped to the minors. Robinson generated 12 goals, 24 points and 124 hits in 72 games with the Blue Jackets last season.

Robinson (upper body) took the ice for Thursday's practice at Blue Jackets camp, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson missed the last three games of 2022-23 with the injury, but it was never a long-term concern. The 28-year-old winger eclipsed the 20-point mark for the second year in a row with 12 goals and 12 assists in 72 games last campaign, but he'll likely be confined to a bottom-six role in 2023-24.

Robinson (upper body) will not play in the Jackets' final two games, Aaron Portzline of The Athletic reports Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Robinson will see his season end having played in a career-high 72 contests in which he tallied 12 goals, 12 assists and 98 shots while averaging 13:57 of ice time. Looking ahead to next season, the winger figures to serve primarily in a bottom-six role where his ceiling is likely in the 25-30 point range given he has never reached the 30-point mark in his six-year NHL career.
