Toronto Maple Leafs' Nick Robertson demands a trade
The Toronto Maple Leafs and Nick Robertson will be parting ways this summer after the latter demanded a trade.
Per Chris Johnston, Nick Robertson of the Toronto Maple Leafs has requested a trade.
Sources say that RFA Nick Robertson has no plans to re-sign with the #leafs this summer and has informed the team that he would like to be traded.
Nick Robertson has requested a trade, per @reporterchris.
Last summer, a league source told @TheHockeyNews that Robertson's camp was upset about possibly being sent to the AHL and that's why he remained with TOR in 22/23 even when he was scratched
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.
