Columbus would decline that. Jenner is viewed as one of the leaders in the locker room and brings everything to the table every time he’s on the ice. Savard is Columbus best defensive defenseman and is the only other RHD Columbus has besides Jones, and Anderson is a solid power forward, who I think was hurt vs Boston and didn’t play as well as he could have.
Coming to Columbus I’d love to see Nylander and Wennberg play together all season and see if both players can keep up what’s happening at the world championships. Zaitzev, to me is a good 3rd pair defenseman who’s overpaid, but maybe a change of scenery is what he needs. That leaves Kapanen, I think he’s good, but Anderson is better at the same position and sane role and has a slightly better contract at this point, though things could change in the next year, and I could be wrong.
Overall I don’t see the motivation for Columbus to make this trade, though it’s also a fair trade in my option.
