The Toronto Maple Leafs re-signed forward Nick Robertson to a one-year, $875,000 contract on Tuesday, ending a stalemate between the sides.
Robertson had asked for a trade in June after Toronto didn’t put him in a consistent role last season because of a glut of forward talent. Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving explored the trade market but reportedly didn’t really want to move the winger.
Still, Robertson set career highs across the board with 27 points (14 goals, 13 assists) and 56 games in 2023-24.
Robertson, who turns 23 on Wednesday, was Toronto’s second-round pick (53rd overall) in the 2019 NHL draft.
Over parts of four seasons, the California native has posted 34 points (17 goals, 17 assists) in 87 games.
