The Toronto Maple Leafs and Nick Robertson have settled their arbitration case, agreeing on a one-year, $1.825 million contract for next season.
With the deal, the two sides have avoided an arbitration hearing that was scheduled for Sunday. Robertson's signing was the latest important piece of business completed by Leafs' general manager, Brad Treliving.
The signing leaves the Maple Leafs with just under $2 million in salary cap space. While tighter against the cap, Treliving and the Leafs have secured a young, high-upside forward to a team-friendly deal.
The Maple Leafs have yet to find a bona fide top-six forward to fill Mitch Marner's shoes, but they remain loaded with star power.
