NHL insider Elliotte Freidman reported on 32 thoughts yesterday that Nick Robertson may be requesting a trade out of Toronto soon. The former 2nd round pick once scored over a goal per game in the OHL but he has not been able to establish himself in the NHL yet.
Robertson has always produced at a rate you would expect from a prospect destined for a NHL career. That being said, it is really hard to score when you aren't in the lineup because you're rehabbing an injury. Over the past few seasons, Robertson has spent more time recovering from injuries than he has on the ice. Last year he played just 15 games with the Leafs and 2 with the Marlies. Perhaps Robertson could stay healthy if he's given a fresh start with a new team.
