Maple Leafs Forward Pulls Back Trade Request
Despite a former request from Nick Robertson to be moved from the Leafs, he instead now wants to stay a member of the team as the March 7 Trade Deadline approaches.
Not long ago, Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nick Robertson openly requested to be traded - a request that he's now reneged upon.
Still, it's natural to feel some uneasiness as the Trade Deadline approaches (March 7). Playing on an expiring deal, Robertson said he'll simply be going about his business as the Deadline draws near - but that his preference is to remain with Toronto.
Having found himself a healthy scratch on more than one occasion under new head coach Craig Berube, Robertson recently reached double digits in goals and said that the ups and downs he's experienced this year are really a "blessing in disguise".
Last year, the most I played was 20 games (in a row), then I got scratched, shifting in and out. I hate that,» he continues. «So, I made a decision that I want to play every single game. Like I said, back to the desperation thing, I want to be in the lineup every game. I want to be an impactful player. And so far, it's been working.
Robertson, who can become a free agent on July 1, has an AAV (average annual value) of $875,000.
He has 16 points (11G, 5A) in 50 games this year.
