The Toronto Maple Leafs are reportedly approaching the end of their tenure with restricted free agent Nicholas Robertson. NHL analyst Matt Larkin suggests a trade with the Columbus Blue Jackets, potentially sending Robertson for Yegor Chinakhov, both players facing uncertain futures. Robertson, drafted in 2019, has struggled for consistent playing time with the Leafs, tallying just 15 goals and seven assists last season. Larkin believes a more stable environment could benefit him. On the other hand, Chinakhov has requested a trade due to dissatisfaction with Blue Jackets coach Dean Evason, further complicating his situation.
