“I believe that they’re going to get something done and that Nick Robertson will return to the Maple Leafs.”
Robertson has spoken with new head coach Craig Berube, and Berube has assured him that there’s nothing but opportunity, and he’d be given a shot with the Leafs on the left wing.
“It sounds like he’s leaning more toward recognizing what he has in Toronto and making the best of the situation.”

He has zero leverage. He’s not a good enough player to be in crazy high demand but he’s also too good to trade away for the limited value that a player with a season of 27 points in 56 games last year and 7 points in 31 games over three partial seasons.
I think we probably dont’ see him in Toronto next year but that’s either going to be because he doesn’t fit with Berube or he has such a good year that he prices himself out of Toronto but also carries a better trade value.
Considering how he has no leverage, a new coach for a fresh start, and a top 6 hole he could fill…
I don’t see why he would draw this out anymore.
Does anyone really care anymore? I’d rather have someone who wants to play here give it their all than some guy who I keep hearing has the skills but it never seems to materialize when it matters.
we want him to do good this year then get a better trade value out of him and get him outta here!
He’s only 22 years old, if he comes back, we as fans need to support him and hope the best for him. I think he’s capable of scoring 20-25 goals this year as long as he keeps improving.
