Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nick Robertson is set to become a restricted free agent this summer after a career-best season in 2025-26. The 24-year-old scored 17 goals and added 18 assists for 35 points in 72 games, according to NHL.com. This performance gives him more negotiating power than in previous years.
Robertson, a second-round pick in 2019, has struggled with injuries early in his career but stayed healthy this season. His improved play has drawn interest from other teams, though the Maple Leafs hold his rights. General Manager Brad Treliving has not commented on contract talks.
If Robertson tests free agency, he could command a salary around $2-3 million per year, based on comparable players. The Maple Leafs have limited cap space, which may complicate a new deal. A trade is also possible if the team decides to move on.
