The Toronto Maple Leafs signed forward Nick Robertson to a one-year contract worth $1.825 million to avoid arbitration, the team announced.

The Maple Leafs reportedly filed for arbitration at $1.2 million, while Robertson came in at $2.2 million. The hearing was set for Sunday. Robertson is the last player who filed for arbitration to settle, though all parties this year reached an agreement before an arbitration hearing was necessary.

The restricted free agent tallied 15 goals and 22 points in 69 games last season. He averaged a career-high 12:00 of ice time, but was a healthy scratch for most of the postseason. He notched one goal and two points in his three playoff appearances.

Robertson will again be an RFA with arbitration rights after the 2025-26 campaign.

Following the 2023-24 season, Robertson reportedly requested a trade from the Maple Leafs, but a move didn't materialize. He ultimately signed a one-year, $875,000 contract with Toronto as an RFA without arbitration rights.

The 23-year-old has accumulated 32 goals and 56 points in 156 career games over parts of five seasons. The Maple Leafs drafted Robertson 53rd overall in 2019.
