If the Leafs decide to keep Robertson, I would consider making a larger deal involving Jarnkrok to make the money more fair. It would save the Leafs a little under a million in space and they get a younger player who still has some upside

Why the Leafs should just give Robertson the ice time and whatnot he deserves in the wake of nick Robertson’s trade request

Seems like he just gets consistently lit up at 5v5, but his height/60 looks great

Toropchenko has janky underlying numbers, barely got to 21 points in a full season, has tanner glass level career A1 rates
This is a depth player not a top sixer
I get the feeling he of all people is being suggested because of size. Can’t teach size! *infomercial voice* well now you can at my-

Rather hes traded for something useful but thats not likely

Wasn’t Ondřej Kaše planning a return to the NHL?

Robertson is better so no

They should target him because he’s a Guelph storm memorial cup champion!!!

Meh…just cause he’s asked for a trade, doesn’t mean he’s getting it.
Why trade him and get what, a 3rd round pick?

The media is just determined to will the leafs into making a bad trade… then complain about why they made a bad trade.

He got ice time & got injured.It’s not the teams fault he couldn’t play.Then the team plays without him & realizes they don’t need him.

Robertson isn’t getting traded. He has no leverage. I suspect the request is more about getting a commitment from Tree/Berube around his playing time.
It’s a fair ask as well. He has a much higher ppg than Knies with less playing time and worse linemates. Keefe extended every courtesy to Knies and treated Robertson like garbage.
Knies wasn’t ready for top 6 minutes, but was allowed time to grow into his role. Robertson was never given that opportunity and had to prove himself as a 4th liner in order to get a chance to be a 2nd liner.

No. Just no.

Nick is really good but he needs to take that next step where he can’t be moved off the puck. We see Nylander who is a similar style of non physical and highly skilled winger with smooth hands and a good wrister.
Not sure what type of strength training program Nick needs to get on but this is his evolution as a player. It can make the difference between a fourth line player with good stats who is unplayable for more than 10 mins versus a serious top 6 player. He’s really skilled but he’s a liability out there since he gets bodied off the puck so easily.

It’s so cringy that everyone’s opinion on here has devolved to strictly looking at an analytics sheet and writing them off. I’ll bet good money that 95% of the people commenting that have never even watched him play.

Should trade him to the habs. We have some dmen to trade.

Extend QO to Robertson and keep it moving
