Mock trade sends Nick Robertson to join his brother in Dallas
After rumors circulated that Toronto Maple Leafs' forward Nick Robertson requested a trade prior to the 2024 NHL free agency period opened. The Maple Leafs are still yet to find a trade partner for him.
However, recent reports suggest that there may be a potential mock trade between the Maple Leafs and Dallas Stars that makes sense for both clubs.
The deal would send Nick Robertson to the Stars and play within the same organization as his brother, Jason Robertson. The Maple Leafs would receive prospects from the Stars.
The importance of this would be the recent hire by the Maple Leafs. They brought in Mark Leach to replace Wes Clark as the director of amateur scouting. Leach spent a number of years as the director of amateur scouting with the Stars and was the one who drafted Jason Robertson.
Leach would have the upper hand when it comes to what prospects the Maple Leafs should target from the Stars' organization.�
If the Maple Leafs were able to get a few prospects for Robertson, they wouldn't be top-end prospects. Leach would know what players to acquire that could be diamonds in the rough for the future of the Maple Leafs.
If the Maple Leafs do trade Robertson, the Stars should be at the top of their trade partner's list. Both teams could benefit from a Robertson trade; it would likely be considered a win-win.�
