NHL reporter Dave Feschuk expresses his case because the Toronto Maple Leafs need to retain Nick Robertson on a new deal after several changes have occurred on their forward lines.

During yesterday's episode of TSN 1050's First Up, Feschuk gives a compelling argument to why the Maple Leafs should retain Nick Robertson as he has sought a trade from the team after he feels he's receiving minimal ice time and a lack of interest in developing his game.
"The Maple Leafs need Nick Robertson right now; I'll tell you that right now. With [Tyler] Bertuzzi walking out the door and that lack of potential for goal scoring out the door, we know one thing about Nick Robertson -- he can put the puck in the net if he is given opportunity. He has done that very consistently and if you look at goals per 60 throughout his career, he's a very, very respectable player."

The 22-year-old left winger was drafted by the Maple Leafs in 2019, second round, 53rd overall. Robertson has shown flashes of brilliance during his time in Toronto; however, it has not translated in steady ice time and a spot on the roster.
Last season he played 56 games, scoring 14 goals with 13 assists for 27 points and is a +4 with 11:23 of average ice time.
It's true at the Maple Leafs need to retain their young players as their depth is not as deep as many would hope as the team is currently in a win now mode. It seems that he does not want to remain with the team and would like a change of scenery which will likely happen from General Manager Brad Treliving.
It remains to be seen if the Maple Leafs decide to retain him or let him go either through trade or a potential offer sheet; but in the meantime, he remains Maple Leaf property and will be until the contract is settled. Let's hope we can all come together towards lifting Lord Stanley's Cup.
