This is what most people have been saying. I know it feels like unfamiliar territory for this team, but this is RFA status working as intended. Robertson has no leverage to demand a trade. He’s not an important enough piece to make the leafs worried about him sitting out, he’s not good enough to have teams lining up for his services, but he has enough potential that the leafs don’t want to give away his rights for peanuts.
GMBT has mo reason to not play hardball here, especially after giving matthews and nylander big extensions, he’s gotta show that he’s not getting pushed around
Nylanderthals
Fuckin tell him James!

I don’t want him on the team. Leafs need size on the wings.
