Maple Leafs Weigh Nick Robertson Trade as Sharks Emerge as Suitor

Cap constraints plus Easton Cowan’s ascent are pushing Toronto to explore options for the 24-year-old winger.

Overview

  • New reporting says the Maple Leafs have discussed moving Calle Jarnkrok, David Kampf and Nick Robertson and are seeking draft picks in return.
  • Cam Robinson reports multiple Western Conference teams have inquired on Robertson, with the San Jose Sharks specifically linked.
  • Practice lines and preseason usage have Robertson slotted as an extra forward, while Easton Cowan is tracking to make the opening-night lineup after a strong camp.
  • Robertson is on a one-year, $1.825 million deal that makes him an easily movable piece for a cap-tight roster with roughly $1.14 million in space cited.
  • The Sharks are viewed as a logical destination given about $9.12 million in cap room and recent TOR–SJ trades, though no agreement has been reached.
