It looks like we now know Nick Robertson's future with the Leafs

According to a report from NHL insider Frank Seravalli, there may be no room for Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nick Robertson on the team's forward corps this upcoming season.

On the Leafs Morning Take podcast earlier today, Seravalli discussed whether or not he thinks there is a spot for Robertson on this Leafs roster. 

Here's his response:

I'm not sure, Jay, that there is a spot on this team for him, and it's going to take something really special, I think, in training camp to basically not be denied and put the Leafs in a spot where they can't send you down. I don't want to say he's not in their plans; I think he's certainly being given a fresh opportunity and a real shot to make it if he stands out.

But, you know, I think part of the situation with Robertson is that the Leafs fan base, and I don't think it's fair to say the team internally, but the Leafs fan base looks at Nick Robertson probably in a different light than 31 other teams are looking at him. This is, in all likelihood, a B-level prospect, and I think you get enamoured by certain parts of his game.

Unfortunately, I think Seravalli may be correct here.

No one is questioning Robertson's skill and ability, but he hasn't been able to translate his skill into prolonged NHL success. At this point, it's probably best for both the Leafs and for Robertson personally if he can get a fresh start elsewhere.
