Maple Leafs’ Nick Robertson still wants to be traded
Earlier this summer, Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nick Robertson requested a trade out of Ontario. This is far from the first time Robertson’s name has popped up in trade discussions. In fact, the Maple Leafs reportedly considered trading him during the 2023-24 season as they pushed for the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
However, this is the first time Robertson himself requested the move. He remains on Toronto’s roster as of this writing. In saying this, the current restricted free agent is not budging on his desire to exit the Maple Leafs this offseason. NHL insider Pierre LeBrun provided more insight on this when speaking on TSN 1050’s OverDrive.
“He still would prefer a change of address,” said LeBrun, via TSN. “But that has been slow going on that. Got a pretty powerful agent in Pat Brisson, but checking with a couple different people involved today, he’s training back home and waiting for a resolution. But the process certainly hasn’t moved along as fast as I think his camp would like so we’ll see where that goes.”
