Much of the New Jersey Devils trade chatter this offseason has centered around a bigger, more ambitious move, like going for Dallas Stars superstar Jason Robertson. But what about his brother, Nick Robertson, who plays for the Toronto Maple Leafs?
Robertson, 23, is the last remaining restricted free agent headed to arbitration after the Winnipeg Jets and defenseman Dylan Samberg agreed on a three-year contract Wednesday.
That arbitration hearing is slated to take place on Aug. 3, and going to arbitration also precludes Robertson from signing any offer sheets.
However, the trade rumors have long swirled around Robertson, who has yet to establish himself as an NHL regular in Toronto.
