Nick Robertson's situation in Toronto remains unresolved as the 22-year-old sticks with his trade request, potentially leading to a resolution soon.
Despite having played a career-high number of games last season, Nick Robertson remains dissatisfied with his role on the Toronto Maple Leafs, which led him to request a trade earlier this offseason. Numerous former players have suggested publicly that he should reconsider and try to solidify his spot on the team. However, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun, Robertson has no plans to retract his request.
Nick Robertson stands firm in his request
"The latest there is that I'm told that 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."
While there has been no shortage of speculation about a potential trade, nothing concrete has emerged. With the NHL season approaching, this situation is one to watch closely. Robertson might need to consider returning to the Maple Leafs if a trade doesn't materialize.
"He's training back home and waiting for a resolution, but the process certainly hasn't moved along as fast as his camp would like," revealed LeBrun.
Robertson still holds significant potential, especially after scoring 14 goals in 56 games last season. The current uncertainty could impact his future market value, but his talent is undeniable.
Should he manage to stay healthy, there's a chance he could develop into a 60-75 point scorer in the NHL. With the season rapidly approaching, major movement might soon follow, especially given his continued desire to leave Toronto.
