Nicholas Robertson signed a one-year, $875,000 contract with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Tuesday.
The forward, who turns 23 on Wednesday, was a restricted free agent. He had an NHL career-high 27 points (14 goals, 13 assists) in 56 games for the Maple Leafs last season and did not have a point in six Stanley Cup Playoff games.
“It's a fresh, clean state with a new coach (Craig Berube), new opportunity,” Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving said Thursday. “So, I know the last couple days he's been here, he's excited, and I'm looking forward to seeing him [in training camp].”
Selected by Toronto in the second round (No. 53) of the 2019 NHL Draft, Robertson has 34 points (17 goals, 17 assists) in 87 regular-season games and one goal in 10 playoff games.
