Overview
- Practice lineups and published projections place Easton Cowan on Toronto’s fourth line with Scott Laughton and Steve Lorentz for opening night.
- Nick Robertson is listed among the extras in those projections, with local reporting penciling him in as the 13th forward.
- Elite Prospects’ Cam Robinson reports multiple Western Conference teams, including the San Jose Sharks, have shown interest in acquiring Robertson.
- Robertson, 24, is on a one-year, $1.825 million deal after avoiding arbitration in August, a number that makes a trade or waiver placement easier.
- PuckPedia data cited in coverage shows San Jose with about $9.12 million in cap space, while other clubs such as the Flyers continue trimming rosters and assigning players to the AHL.
