TSN: Nick Robertson requests trade from Toronto

[TheKrebsCycle]

Screams Tampa. We'll take him.

I honestly think he’d flourish there . If he gets a regular shift in a top 9 / stays healthy ; think he could pot 25 next year .

That is why leafs should deny his trade REQUEST

 

[LTIR]

Oilers will trade you Kane for him

 

[Brew]

Oilers will trade you Kane for him

Lol.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Oilers will trade you Kane for him

Retain 50% and it’s a deal

 

[shaner8989]

Leafs aren’t going to cater to a kid. Shut up and play. Be useful before you speak. Leafs are not going to trade him for nothing. Maybe he plays better under Berube. Then they can trade his ass.

 

[BB79]

Oilers will trade you Kane for him

Bolts will trade the rights to Brent Seabrook for him

 

[canuckslover10]

Podkolzin for Robertson could make sense in my opinion.

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Please Dubas be all over this

Oh he will be, Nick Robertson is one of his boys.

IF Nick Robertson is traded, and I'm not convinced he's going anywhere because he's Nick Robertson he has no leverage.

But IF Nick Robertson is traded I'd fully expect Dubas to be all over him, and I think the Leafs get a decent price if it's Dubas who lands him.

Dubas tends to pay up.

What’s his value in a draft pick, a third?

 

[TheBeastCoast]

What’s his value in a draft pick, a third?

Possibly. If that is the case he probably stays a Leaf though.

 

[Arthur Morgan]

why would he ask for a trade now? I mean Leafs are tight against the cap and he likely has a better opportunity right now then on most teams.
but if he doesnt wanna be here then cya bud

What’s his value in a draft pick, a third?

yeah I wouldnt trade him for a 3rd. Id just force him to play or sit out the season. sorry bud but your value doesnt justify moving you right now.
Im all for moving players that dont wanna be here. but why give him up for just a 3rd. rather have him pissed off then happy with that return

 

[bert]

Dunno what was said.

He scored 14 last year. It's not unreasonable to think if he's given a consistent role in the middle 6 somewhere he'll score 20

One dimensional small player that can't check or play d. No one wants those if they score 14 goals.

 

[WTFMAN99]

I think from a draft perspective, Leafs would be looking for a mid 2nd to an early 3rd.

He hardly got any PP time last year but has a great shot, 20-30 goals in the right situation is possible.

 

[LuGBuG]

I’d give up a 2nd for him. Odds the player you draft won’t end up as good anyway.

 

[Warden of the North]

Right, middle 6 forwards NEVER get contracts.Might be handy on your team maybe?

 

[PaulD]

Future Penguin

 

[Xerloris]

Blues offer future considerations.

 

[tmlfan98]

This trade request will end up like Ilya Mikheyev's trade request out of Toronto.

 

[leafsfan2point0]

Like others have said, he’s a future 20-30 goal scorer. I don’t want to trade him, but if he doesn’t want to be a part of the team then that’s not a good mentality to have in the dressing room. It will probably be a 2nd from an American team with a spare 2nd and a need for goals.

One dimensional small player that can't check or play d. No one wants those if they score 14 goals.

he did that in 56 games averaging 11 mins and in the bottom 6, with pretty much zero PP time.
any team would want to add him.
He is also not 1 dimensional, as he was hitting people and stripping pucks in the playoffs, and was driving his line, and if not for a few brilliant saves by Swayman could have potted a few goals too.
He was one of the few players that actually had decent shots on net.

 

[Vitto79]

Kakko and a filler AHL guy for Jarnkrok and Robertson who says no ?

 

[kevsh]

Did he make this request before or after Bertuzzi signed elsewhere?

Because him leaving creates an opportunity for him - With Knies likely locked into the top line leaving Robertson & McCann competing for the #2 LW slot. At worst he's #3 and I can't imagine there are many teams he's jumping into a higher spot than that right now.

It's a really weird time to ask for one.

Little leverage.
Played at times out of the line up / emotions.

The Leafs have been there for all his injuries. Sign a 1 year deal and see what happens next year.

 

[Just Linda]

Sometimes the simplest options are the easiest options.

Kaliyev is a winger who asked for a trade, Robertson is a winger who asked for a trade.
