Overview

  • Robertson and Toronto agreed to the deal on August 2, one day before his scheduled arbitration hearing.
  • His camp filed for US$2.25 million while the Maple Leafs offered US$1.25 million, resulting in a US$1.85 million settlement.
  • The contract concludes the NHL’s 2025 arbitration season and secures short-term salary cap flexibility for Toronto.
  • Under new coach Craig Berube, Robertson enters training camp vying for a bottom-six forward spot following the additions of Dakota Joshua and Nicolas Roy.
  • The one-year prove-it deal preserves Robertson’s restricted free agent status and maintains his trade value if he fails to earn a regular role.
