"However, with their recent surge back up the standings and greatly improved play with their offense defense and goaltending of late, Toronto may actually be just rounding into form after facing much adversity during the first half of the season. As a result, perhaps they should think twice now before moving on from certain players that were subject to those trade rumors."
"As Robertson had another slow start to his current 2025-26 campaign, many pegged him as possible trade bait as perhaps a change of scenery could finally unlock his full potential. However, he has heated up as of late, with four goals, six assists and 20 shots on goal in his last 11 games. In particular, Robertson appears to have found some chemistry with rookie Easton Cowan and veteran Nicolas Roy on the third line of the Leafs."
The Toronto Maple Leafs started the 2025-26 season amid heavy trade speculation after a poor start and efforts to bolster the roster. A recent surge in standings and improved offense, defense and goaltending has reversed momentum and suggests caution in moving players. Three Maple Leafs players are identified as no longer appropriate trade bait. Nick Robertson has faced repeated trade talk after inconsistent output and a 2024-25 regression to 15 goals and 22 points. Robertson has recently produced four goals, six assists and 20 shots on goal in his last 11 games and appears to have chemistry with Easton Cowan and Nicolas Roy while playing third-line minutes at a $1.825 million cap hit.
