There is just one arbitration case left this NHL offseason and it’s Toronto Maple Leafs winger Nick Robertson.
Robertson is headed into arbitration with the team on August 3, a key moment in the 23-year-old's career and a potential turning point for the Leafs’ roster decisions.
Coming off a career-best campaign with 15 goals and 22 points over 69 regular season games, Robertson showed flashes of his scoring upside. However, his inconsistent usage and absence during most of the playoffs left lingering questions about how the team views his role going forward.
Toronto elected arbitration, meaning the result will be a one-year contract determined by a neutral third party if no agreement is reached beforehand.
