Robertson rescinded his trade request and signing on the dotted line is a case of cooler heads prevailing. Agreeing to terms will benefit both the player and the team now.
Treliving handled this exactly as a GM in his position should've handled it, which is to wait it out knowing leverage with the RFA player was almost entirely on his side.
Coming off a 14-goal, 27-point season in just 54 games while playing 11:23 per night, Robertson had some reason to believe he could - and probably should - play a larger role.
Robertson was viewed primarily as a sheltered scoring winger option under Sheldon Keefe, and his opportunities were limited, in addition to the yo-yo treatment he received as a waiver-exempt player.
