In this column by the Hockey News, Robertson was mentioned as a trade candidate:

On the surface, there's so much to love about Nick Robertson's game.

The 21-year-old has an NHL-ready wrist shot, can make plays at top speed, and displays an element of tenacity and fearlessness that's seldom found in 5-foot-9 forwards.

But Robertson has struggled to stay healthy, with injuries to his knee, fibula and shoulder limiting him to just 82 games over the last three seasons — 31 in the NHL and 51 in the AHL.

Elliotte Friedman suggested on the 32 Thoughts Podcast that Robertson «could use a fresh start and will probably like one.»

We will see if Robertson thrives elsewhere.
