The San Jose Sharks are solely focused on the 2025-26 campaign after a lacklustre season saw them finish at the bottom of the standings. While they can look forward to a second-overall pick in the upcoming 2025 NHL Entry Draft, they should also consider bringing in a few new faces to bolster their roster for next season.
One forward they should look into bringing in is Nicholas Robertson, who is a pending restricted free agent (RFA), and all signs are pointing to him leaving the Toronto Maple Leafs and pursuing a fresh start elsewhere. If Robertson wants more playing time and an increased role, the Sharks could be a perfect fit for him.
It’s possible the Maple Leafs give Robertson a qualifying offer and trade him, rather than let him walk for nothing, which would be okay, and should likely still give the Sharks a solid opportunity to bring him in. He is a solid two-way forward and could flourish in a new system, but may cost the Sharks a third-round pick to bring him in.
Realistically, it should be a no-brainer, and they should be willing to move that mid-round draft pick to acquire Robertson. He provides solid offensive production and, despite having dealt with injuries in the past, doesn’t play with fear at either end of the ice. He likely re-signs on a bridge deal, so he would be a cost-efficient addition, which should be exactly what the Sharks look for this summer.
