"Nick Robertson needs to stay consistent this year to prove his spot on the Leafs and to avoid another season of being an on-again, off-again healthy scratch. The winger re-signed with the Leafs this offseason to a one-year, $1.82 million deal. The deal was met just in time to avoid arbitration. Robertson filed for an arbitration hearing on July 5 and was set to be held on August 3, just one day after the deal was announced."
"It seems like the organization likes Roberston and doesn't want to give up on him. Despite scratching him on multiple occasions, and at times for consecutive games, they see his potential. He has a good wrist shot but tends to fire too soon. At five-foot-nine, he doesn't fit into the categories of 'big guys' on the team, and doesn't play a physical game. New additions to the forwards, Nicholas Roy and Dakota Joshua, each offer a larger on-ice presence."
Nick Robertson re-signed a one-year, $1.82 million deal with the Maple Leafs that avoided a scheduled arbitration hearing. He must stay consistent this year to secure a roster spot and avoid another season of on-again, off-again healthy scratches. Robertson scored 55 goals in 46 OHL games in his final junior season but produced modest NHL totals: 156 games, 32 goals and 42 assists across five seasons. The organization continues to value his potential despite frequent scratches. Robertson is a 5-foot-9 winger with a strong wrist shot who sometimes shoots too early. Playing with skilled linemates like Matthew Knies could boost his confidence and scoring.
