After last season, all signs pointed to Maple Leafs Nick Robertson wanting out this off-season, and while that belief was maintained through the summer, it appears he has a new lease on life under Craig Berube. With his new Head Coach, Robertson has taken his game to another level, and in every pre-season game thus far, he's managed to stand out even among the toughest competition.
Now, when asked about Robertson, Berube was very complimentary, and appears excited for his future as a Maple Leaf, despite the reported trade request months ago.
In pre-season thus far, Robertson has tallied a goal per game in impressive circumstances, and after struggling to find a roster spot early in the off-season, he's now almost guaranteed a spot in the Maple Leafs middle-six. So how does Robertson feel about his new spot on the team after impressing?
At this stage, it appears Robertson has used hard work and production to turn his place around in the organization, and with the regular season almost upon us, things are looking good for a career year from the 22-year old.
