Maple Leafs Could Trade Nick Robertson to Bolster Roster

The Toronto Maple Leafs are one of the more interesting teams across the NHL, and their offseason has been a little curious. Toronto lost star Mitch Marner to free agency, and while the front office has brought in some pieces to help replace his production, they remain a lesser team.

The Maple Leafs can't outright replace Marner, and it could cause some issues on the ice this season. But it seems that Toronto may be looking to continue adding in what could be a late offseason move.

According to NHL insider Elliotte Friedman on the 32 Thought Podcast, there is a good chance that Toronto still makes some moves. One of them could include Nick Robertson, who has reportedly been placed on the trade block this summer.

“The Maple Leafs have to clear some bodies there,” Friedman said. “There’s a lot of them.

“I definitely think the Maple Leafs have work to do here,” I don’t know what their timeline is, but nobody expects them not to do things before puck drops, that’s for sure.”

Robertson scored 15 goals and had seven assists for the Maple Leafs last season. The young wing appeared in 69 games for Toronto.

Toronto has been searching for a way to add another top-six forward to the mix, and this could be the way to make it happen. The Maple Leafs front office may be feeling the pressure to keep adding this offseason, but the team has a limited number of assets to work with.

The fans in Toronto have seen their patience wear thin, and this team needs to win at a high level. If this organization has another dud of a season, things could get really ugly in Toronto.
