Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nick Robertson, a restricted free agent this summer, is reportedly looking for a trade after facing injuries, salary cap issues, and recent coaching changes.

Even though the team brought in new coach Craig Berube, Robertson still wants to leave Toronto. General Manager Brad Treliving has been quiet about trades but could act fast if needed.
As trade rumors grow, three teams are seen as possible fits:
1. Seattle Kraken: With plenty of salary cap space and a need for more scoring, Seattle could be a good spot for Robertson. The team has a history of helping players like Eeli Tolvanen find success, which might appeal to Robertson.
2. Vegas Golden Knights: Vegas is looking for more depth on the wing, and even though they have salary cap challenges, they aren't afraid to make bold moves. A trade involving players like Brett Howden could be beneficial for both teams.
3. Philadelphia Flyers: Under GM Daniel Briere, the Flyers want to improve their scoring. Robertson could fit into their top lines, and with players like Morgan Frost in the mix, Philadelphia offers a fresh, developing environment.
Though Treliving values Robertson's skills, trade talks are expected to heat up, and these teams may stay involved until a deal is made.
