The Toronto Maple Leafs have not found a solution for disgruntled forward Nick Robertson’s trade request and refusal to sign an extension with the franchise.

Robertson wants to experience a new environment, is chasing new opportunities, and has informed the franchise about his decision not to sign an extension thus requesting a trade.

Jim Parsons of NHL Trade Talk and The Hockey Writers believes a trade to the Dallas Stars, where Robertson has a brother playing, could be a win-win move that benefits both franchises.

“Robertson believes he’d benefit from a change of scenery. Given his treatment by the Maple Leafs, from his perspective, it’s easy to see why. With his brother Jason thriving in Dallas, a trade could reunite the siblings and give Nick a fresh start,” Parsons wrote on July 20. “While I’d love to see Nick stay in Toronto, having (Mark) Leach now on board in scouting might offer the team a chance for a win-win scenario that could make everyone happier.”

In Parsons’ proposal, the Maple Leafs would receive a couple of prospects and the Stars would land Robertson. Parsons, however, didn’t name any particular Stars’ players.

“The Maple Leafs would receive a couple of prospects in this trade,” Parsons wrote. “In return, the Stars would acquire Nick Robertson. His scoring ability can be game-changing, and pairing him with his brother Jason could provide the Stars with another potent offensive weapon. There’s every reason to believe that Nick could thrive in Dallas.”

This transaction, a “win-win” in Parson’s eyes, would benefit the Stars giving him “a promising young forward” and “enhancing their offensive depth,” while it’d also help Toronto in receiving “prospects or draft picks to bolster their pipeline.”
