No shock. Even with the trade request, Robertson had no choice but to sign if he wanted to play this year.

Yeah there wasn't a team out there most likely who are as good as the Leafs with the hole at LW we have. If he shows up and is good he should have top 6 minutes this year.

Massive hole at LW and a new coach. I’m surprised he didn’t sign this sooner. He’s going to be given a big chance this year and I hope he can make the most of it.

He tried standing his ground and wanted to be traded but in the end signed a deal like this.. not a surprise nobody acquired him and not a surprise he signed for this amount… pretty much exactly what most people assume would happen with him

Fair contract for both sides

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

Not sure if this helps him get dealt, or he realized he isn't worth that much

But much like his skating, he fell down.

As opposed to sitting out? Yes it does. Leafs didin't get an offer they liked so they were perfectly fine to stand their ground, knowing that Robertson would eventually relent.

Let's see if he can establish himself now

Guy was on pace for 20 goals (14 in 56) and get's 100K more than minimum. The salary cap sucks sometimes. He should easily be making 1.5M-2M

Really odd "strategy" from Nick Robertson's team IMO. You have absolutely ZERO leverage and minimal market value, so you demand a trade only to end up signing a one year deal for essentially the league minimum. For his sake - hope he can improve his total game and earn additional icetime and responsibility.

Bruh asked for a trade July 1st when all the pre-planning rosters was done.

Atleast ask for a trade pre draft.

Let him earn it. Show that he can establish himself and play well over a full season before earning over a million dollars.

His finest moment IMO as a leaf thus far.

I expect we will see a lot of goals like this this year

I bet that's literally the face he was making while signing this contract.

 

[Rob Brown]

It was in 22-23 when Berggren scored more than Robertson's career high. But you keep digging that hole, boo.

Ah yes, the one more goal in 11 more games, great example.

 

[BraveCanadian]

If he gets a fair shake this year, Robertson is gonna cash in after this deal.

 

[Double Dion]

Replacement level player who thought someone would sign him to a offer sheet because his brother is really good.

 

[Fatass]

That's not necessarily fair. I think the Leafs and Treliving were asking for a pretty high price, because they need Robertson and they knew he would eventually give in (which he did).

Robertson has value of another club’s similar player (all teams have these guys) or a late round draft pick. The player learned he has very low, if any, trade value.

 

[KeyserSoze81]

<self-censored response>

Offensive first wingers have very little value unless they are dominant.

 

[Dog]

One year is short but at least got deal done so he can play.

 

[Jared Dunn]

The hold out always made no sense and he was always going to have to meekly come back to Toronto with his tail between his legs. There is an opportunity for him to play alongside better players than he would literally anywhere else
