Leafs trade Nick Robertson to the Penguins for a 2028 fourth-round pick See what the move means as Toronto reshapes its roster for free agency

The Toronto Maple Leafs have traded forward Nick Robertson to the Pittsburgh Penguins in exchange for a 2028 fourthround draft pick, according to reports on Wednesday. Robertson, 24, set career highs last season with 16 goals and 32 points in 78 games while playing on a oneyear, $1.825 million US contract. The move reunites him with former Toronto general manager Kyle Dubas, who is now the Penguins' president of hockey operations. The deal was one of several transactions as NHL free agency opened, with other clubs across the league also making signings and trades.
