"Nick Robertson is having a great two weeks, which means they need to trade him ASAP before his stock drops. Robertson sits sixth on the Leafs in goals scored this year but nine goals and 20 points halfway through the season doesn't get me excited about the future of this left-winger. The 24-year-old played his first game with Toronto in August, 2020, so we should have seen a much bigger improvement by now."
"Robertson scored 55 goals in his last year of junior, prior the pandemic which sparked crazy interest in Leafs Nation. In 2020, Toronto was in its second year with John Tavares, while Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner and William Nylander were all 22-years-old or younger, so the optimstic was high with the potential of adding another star winger to the bunch."
"The Leafs trajectory as an organization has been very similar to Robertson's as they have been both filled with optimism before falling in the biggest moments. With three goals in his last five games, Robertson's recent play reminds me of a 4-1 third period lead against the Bruins, as although things look very good right now, just wait a few minutes as it's about to get much worse."
Nick Robertson has nine goals and 20 points halfway through the season and ranks sixth on the Leafs in goals, showing limited progression since debuting with Toronto in August 2020. Robertson scored 55 goals in his final junior season, generating high expectations during a young Leafs core centered on Auston Matthews, Mitch Marner, William Nylander and John Tavares. The Leafs carried goaltending optimism with Jack Campbell and Freddie Andersen, but pandemic disruptions and roster shortcomings closed a championship window. Robertson has scored three goals in his last five games, but his production appears streaky and a change of scenery could better suit his long-term role.
