Toronto Maple Leafs Vooruit Nick Robertson attracts the growing interest in the NHL, with various Western Conference teams that are reportedly exploring him. According to Cam Robinson from Elite ProspectsThe San Jose Sharks appear as one of the front runners for the 24-year-old winger.
“Hearing several Western Conference teams have shown interest in the Leafs wing player, including San Jose,” Robinson reported, because speculation builds only a few days before the regular season.
Robertson, who wears a cap -hit of $ 1,825 million, has difficulty guaranteeing a permanent role in the Toronto line -up. Last season he set 15 goals and 22 points in 59 games, with moments of attacking talent, but also against inconsistency and frequent healthy scratches. Many believe that he has a high ceiling, but he doesn’t seem to find a real foot in Toronto.
There are still six days to go until the Maple Leafs Montreal hosts for the season opener. Nick Robertson was one of the extras for the Leafs, which suggests that he may not be in the opening set -up of Toronto. The others were Michael Pizzetta, Calle Järnkrok and David Kämpf.
If Robertson cannot cut a place on the Roster, you would think he would be open to an exchange, even if it was for a non-playoff team. It can be assigned to the AHL or traded. A switch to another team seems the most likely.
The sharks are now the type of team that seems logical to take a chance on a player like Robertson. If he can be obtained for a mild return, the sharks have a good young core and an opportunity for an attacker like Robertson to excel.
For the sharks or another freer, he represents a cheap gamble on a skilled attacker who can benefit from a new chance.
