Not long ago, Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nick Robertson openly requested to be traded - a request that he's now reneged upon.
Still, it's natural to feel some uneasiness as the Trade Deadline approaches (March 7). Playing on an expiring deal, Robertson said he'll simply be going about his business as the Deadline draws near - but that his preference is to remain with Toronto.
Having found himself a healthy scratch on more than one occasion under new head coach Craig Berube, Robertson recently reached double digits in goals and said that the ups and downs he's experienced this year are really a "blessing in disguise".
Robertson, who can become a free agent on July 1, has an AAV (average annual value) of $875,000.
He has 16 points (11G, 5A) in 50 games this year.
