The reported stalemate between the Toronto Maple Leafs and left winger Nick Robertson has ended as both sides agreed to a one-year contract, the team announced on Tuesday.
Financial details were not immediately clear, but the deal is believed to be worth $875,000. Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman was the first to report that both sides were close on coming to terms on a new deal.
Robertson, who will turn 23 on Wednesday, was a restricted free agent and the lone Maple Leaf without a contract for the upcoming season.
The Pasadena, Cal. native reportedly asked for a trade in July after growing displeased with his role under former head coach Sheldon Keefe.
Keefe was fired in the offseason, and the Maple Leafs hired Craig Berube as his replacement.
Robertson appeared in a career-high 56 games with the Maple Leafs, scoring 14 goals with 27 points. He went pointless in six playoff games. He also played nine games with the Toronto Marlies, finishing with 11 points.
Robertson was drafted in the second round of the 2019 NHL Draft (53rd overall).
