When looking at trade candidates around the NHL, one player who should immediately grab their attention is Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nick Robertson.

Robertson, 22, requested a trade earlier this offseason from the Maple Leafs, so the possibility of him getting dealt is naturally there. When noting that he is a young forward who has shown good upside at the NHL level, he is precisely the kind of player the Flyers should be open to taking a chance on.

Robertson is quietly coming off a solid season with the Maple Leafs, as he posted new career highs with 14 goals, 13 assists, and 27 points in 56 games. When noting that he primarily played in a bottom-six role, these numbers are pretty encouraging.
The Flyers have assets that could appeal to the Maple Leafs. Scott Laughton is a player who the Maple Leafs have been connected to in the past. If not Laughton, Morgan Frost is also someone who could intrigue the Leafs in a potential Robertson deal.
Overall, when noting that Robertson is a skilled winger who could one day blossom into a top-six forward, he is somebody who the Flyers should consider making a push for. We will need to wait and see if they do just that from here,
