The NHL pre-season has often proven to be an unreliable indicator of regular-season success, as highlighted by Nick Robertson's struggles. After a strong exhibition showing with the Toronto Maple Leafs, where he scored five goals, Robertson has yet to find the net in the regular season, raising questions about his future with the team.
Despite the Leafs' decent start, Robertson's performance is under scrutiny, especially with a new head coach, Craig Berube, evaluating his potential. As the season progresses, the pressure mounts for Robertson to contribute, or he may face a trade as the team seeks more scoring depth.
