The Toronto Maple Leafs will begin the regular season in just a little over a week.
That means that the Toronto Maple Leafs will start cutting down the number of players in camp. One player they won’t be cutting – unless they’ve gone and lost their damn minds – is Nick Robertson.
Originally, there were not many jobs available to be won in training camp. A healthy Leafs roster was going to have to sit a very good defenseman, and though there is some jockeying for position (say second line left wing) there is really only Clifford and Simmond’s spots on the roster which are available to be won.
