"According to Chris Johnston on a recent episode of his podcast, there remains some speculation that the Leafs are open to the idea of trading Robertson. And furthermore, Johnston suggests that during this training camp period, as teams are figuring out their final roster and maybe realizing they need a player like Robertson, for him to then be moved."
"Robertson has long been involved in trade rumours for multiple years now. Whether it was him as a younger prospect to try to squeeze as much out of a solid Toronto roster and to sell him at the deadline, or what it is now, in just trying to find an organization that would actually want to give him meaningful playing time. The 24-year-old winger is most likely not going to be a regular in Toronto anyways. With the additions of Dakota Joshua, Matias Maccelli, Nicolas Roy, and bringing back Steven Lorentz, the Leafs are pretty solidified when it comes to their forward depth. Throw in Bobby McMann and Scott Laughton and that's already half of the lineup. Robertson is a victim of the numbers game and it feels only right that instead of being the 13th"
Speculation continues that the Maple Leafs are open to trading Nick Robertson, with a potential window during training camp as teams adjust final rosters. Training camp roster juggling could prompt teams to pursue a player like Robertson for more playing time. Robertson has been involved in trade rumors for multiple years as teams evaluated his value as a prospect and as a player seeking meaningful NHL minutes. The 24-year-old winger appears unlikely to secure a regular roster spot in Toronto given recent forward additions and reinforced depth, making him a potential trade asset.
