TSN: Nick Robertson requests trade from Toronto

[WatchfulElm]

Meh that was years ago

The habs had that d-man from 2017 who was super hyped Brook? He busted

Happens

Hyped by only one very prolific poster.

 

[ACLEVERNAME]

Who?

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

I wouldn't do this for LA. Kaliyev seems like a better player

Kaliyev is crap. Robetson just needs a real coach.

 

[TheNumber4]

Okay I’ve decided. 6th round pick for Robertson.

Will give Toronto a do-over for the free 6th round pick Dubas denied in the Hyman trade.

 

[BM14]

He sucks. Good riddance.

Brook sadly just kept getting injured. He looked like he should have been good.

 

[Honour Over Glory]

Please Dubas be all over this

This is the sort of lad Kindergarten Kyle should be bringing over.

 

[Maurice of Orange]

There was a rumor last offseason that the Flyers were interested in Robertson.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Can’t blame him. Treliving will do anything to keep young players from playing.

 

[Albz]

Trade him to devils . Will fit in nicely.......

 

[gojetsgo]

Robertson for Justin Barron

Robertson for Ceulemens

Robertson for Perfetti

in what universe

 

[LivingRentFree]

The Leafs losing their future 40 goal scorer. Oh wow I thought he was untouchable lmao

Apparently only you thought that.

 

[FinlandPanther]

Apparently only you thought that.

Nope.

 

[VainGretzky]

Robertson for Bourgault

 

[peconcan]

Big fan of him but doesn’t surprise me. He’s gonna be a top 6er somewhere

 

[CheerstoBeers]

I always liked Robertson when I saw him play.. Never understood why he was underutilized on Toronto. Seemed like he had the skill to breakout and it was only a matter of time but wasn't getting a fair shake.

 

[Mitch nylander]

Robertson for Bourgault

He's been terrible ahl player, realistically I'd want a defensemen in a similar state to Robertson.

Like Philip Broberg is more in line to be fair.

Lol. Broberg. Let’s not get silly.

Lol. Broberg. Let’s not get silly.

I mean Broberg is the same age - only had played 14 nhl games this year while Robertson played 56 with 27 points (40 point pace)...

Broberg was a tweener for most of the year, and is now waiver eligible...

I mean prior to this season he has just consistently been injured.

Broberg is a former 8th overall who will be playing Top 4 in this League for the next decade.

Robertson may not even be a player.

They aren’t in the same stratosphere value wise.

 

[BlueSeal]

they also dont have to trade him. think Robertson would really sit out for the year? I guess he could sign over seas or something but doubtful he gets NHL money. teams have rejected players requests to be traded before. see what happens

This sort of thing helps neither side. Toronto certainly doesn't want players who don't want to be on the team there and this guy doesn't want to be there, so they'll figure out a way to move him but it'll be at a benefit to Toronto, not a favor to the player.

 

[yzerman]

Swap him with Samuel Fagemo from kings

 

[Leaf Fans]

Robertson probably used the Calculator and realized he could make SOOOOOOOO much more else where.

Sign him to an offer-sheet that would guarantee that the Leafs wouldn't match. You have a calculator.

 

[BraveCanadian]

Don’t blame him because he hasn’t been used in a way that would give him a path to be successful.

Being scratched constantly for worse players and being used in the bottom 6 although he’s bad defensively and small.. Robertson is a guy you want playing 2nd line with stronger players around him to cover for his weaknesses and some PP time.

Didn’t get those here
