Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nick Robertson is a restricted free agent, and with arbitration coming up, he is guaranteed to get a raise on last year's deal.
Nick Robertson is a polarizing player within Leafs Nation, and there is no doubt that some fans want him gone this offseason.
He had 15 goals last year, and it felt like he could have been traded at any time. Furthermore, he only participated in three playoff games, which shows that head coach Craig Berube doesn't really trust him.
Now, Robertson is entering arbitration with the Maple Leafs, which means he will be getting a contract soon. Whether or not the Leafs trade him after is up to them.

The arbitration hearings are set to begin this week, with most teams being given different days for their players.
A great example of this is how Kaapo Kakko and the Seattle Kraken will have their hearing on July 25th, but the Leafs and Robertson will officially meet on August 3rd.

Robertson is likely going to get himself a raise following his last deal, which makes a whole lot of sense.
However, the Maple Leafs have upgraded their bottom-six and don't have a lot of space left for him. This has many assuming he is going to go.
If Brad Treliving does decide to trade Robertson, there is no telling what the return will be.
Having said that, some could see him getting tied to a deal for a guy like Byran Rust.
