A former second-round pick by the Toronto Maple Leafs had asked for a trade away at the start of the 2024 NHL offseason and recently reaffirmed his belief that he would be better suited on a different team.

Nicholas Robertson, who had 14 goals and 13 assists for 27 points in 56 games played for the Leafs, personally believes that a change of address would be in his best interest. From TSN insider at The Athletic writer Pierre LeBrun:

"The latest there is that I'm told he would still prefer a change of address," revealed LeBrun. "It's been slow going on that file but he's got a pretty powerful agent in Pat Brisson."

Brisson, who has helped his clients such as Seth Jones, Pierre-Luc Dubois and Noah Hanifin receive trades away from their previous organizations, seems to have a good amount of pull within the league which should help Robertson receive his request.

This does not necessarily mean that Robertson gets moved, as the Leafs are expected to stick to their guns.

"There is certainly no guarantee that he actually gets moved, he doesn't have a lot of leverage in this situation," admitted LeBrun.

Nick Robertson is the younger brother of Jason Robertson, the current superstar winger for the Dallas Stars.
