Nick Robertson Announces Life-Changing News Amid Leafs Aribration Battle
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nick Robertson is pursuing arbitration with the team as he is now officially a restricted free agent with very limited options.
Yesterday, it was reported that Nick Robertson would be pursuing arbitration with the Toronto Maple Leafs.
As a restricted free agent, this is well within the forward's rights. Now, an independent arbitrator will hear arguments from the Leafs and Robertson. From there, a decision will be made on what kind of contract the forward gets.
Overall, this is going to be an interesting process, especially when you consider how there have been rumors about the winger getting traded soon.
Nick Robertson gets married
However, in the midst of all of this, Robertson has been living life, and on Saturday, he made a life-changing announcement that has Leafs Nation feeling jubilant for him.
In the photo below, you can see that the forward got married to his long-time partner, Emma. This is great news, and we wish the couple the best of luck.
Summer weddings are pretty common, and with the NHL season coming to an end, it is no surprise that Robertson would get this done now.
As for arbitration, there is no telling how this is going to go for the forward. At the end of the day, the Leafs aren't even sure if they need him on the team.
He struggled to get playing time in the postseason, and Craig Berube wasn't a huge fan of his lack of defense throughout the season.
Overall, this is going to be a fascinating summer for the Leafs, and we look forward to whatever happens next.
Ultimately, the Maple Leafs and Nick Robertson have a lot to figure out, and even with an arbitrated deal, there is no guarantee he begins the season in Toronto.
