Toronto Maple Leafs RFA at high risk of an offer sheet from conference rival per reports

Nick Robertson has made it clear he wants out of Toronto, but could this lead to a conference rival making a play at him via the controversial offer sheet?

In 2023/24, Nick Robertson finally got past some of the injury issues that have plagued him in recent years, ultimately playing 56 games at the NHL level, tallying a solid 14 goals and 27 points in that time. However, he's expressed his displeasure with the lack of a defined role for himself in 2024/25, officially giving Brad Treliving and the Maple Leafs front office a trade request this off-season.

However, the 22-year old remains an RFA, and after the dual offer sheets we saw earlier in the summer with the Edmonton Oilers, absolutely nothing is off the table. Now, a new report has revealed that the Carolina Hurricanes, who themselves were in danger of an offer sheet for Martin Necas before he signed a two-year deal, could be a player in acquiring Nick Robertson via this method.

We've seen them do it before, as they acquired Jesperi Kotkaniemi from Montreal via offer sheet, and with a need for young, talented wingers to bolster their already deep roster, it makes more and more sense, so keep a close eye on new GM Eric Tulsky and this front office over the next few weeks.

While the injury issues for Robertson remain a concern, it's hard to deny his talent when he's on the ice, and if a team can land him for cheap given that Toronto don't have a need for him, it would be a good pickup for a young team or a contending team alike, so look for something huge to break before the season begins.
