Elliotte Friedman Hints At Possible Trade For Nick Robertson
The Toronto Maple Leafs forward group is one of the best in the entire NHL, and while that's a great thing for this team, it unfortunately leads to several top prospects missing out on potential places in this team.
An intriguing prospect group
The Maple Leafs have also built up quite the talented young prospect pool, with names like Matthew Knies and Fraser Minten seen as key parts of this teams future.
Unfortunately, that means a player like Nick Robertson is being overlooked, despite the flashes he's shown in recent times, and even after a solid pre-season, it appears he's not going to make the team for the regular season opener.
A trade incoming?
After not making the roster, premiere NHL Insider Elliotte Friedman has dropped a bombshell, claiming that this team could potentially move on from Robertson, someone who was once seen as their top prospect.
Ultimately, if he's not good enough to make the roster and prospects like Knies and Minten have passed him, this wouldn't be the worst idea for Toronto, and if he can find his footing elsewhere and they get a solid return, it would be beneficial for both parties.
