"Now, some interesting information has surfaced. Insider Darren Dreger, during the October 30 edition of Insider Trading on TSN, claimed that the Maple Leafs are in no hurry to unload Robertson. Dreger stated: "For Nick Robertson, I mean, he's a bottom-six, he's a top-six, he's in the press box, he's scoring goals, he's a young guy who the Toronto Maple Leafs have time for. And they are in no rush to move him out.""
"The Leafs don't want to cut ties with the Robertson as they have with other players in the past. Moreover, it seems that Craig Berube is willing to give Robertson a decent shot at sticking with the team. Robertson played with Auston Matthews and Bobby McMann in Columbus. Dreger, nevertheless, concluded with this thought: "If they were to get the right sort of return for Nick Robertson, it would be a player of a similar age. So, that's what it's complicated when you talk about trade scenarios around a young guy like Nick Robertson.""
Nick Robertson, 24, has been the subject of ongoing trade speculation involving the Toronto Maple Leafs. A reported tentative trade to Columbus involving Yegor Chinakhov fell through. Darren Dreger indicated the Leafs are willing to keep Robertson and are not rushing to move him, citing his scoring ability and positional flexibility. Coach Craig Berube appears prepared to give Robertson a real opportunity to earn a roster spot. Any trade for Robertson would likely demand a player or prospect of similar age, which makes finding acceptable returns more complicated for the Leafs.
