Toronto Maple Leafs
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Robertson produced 15 goals and 22 points across 69 regular-season appearances in 2024-25 before adding one goal and one assist in three playoff outings. He sat frequently as a healthy scratch and averaged only 12:00 of ice time per game in the regular season. Robertson may need a change of scenery to be a factor in fantasy leagues. He has offensive potential but hasn’t locked down a full-time spot in the lineup, and he will need a top-six role to be a worthwhile depth option in most formats, a spot that is unlikely to be regularly available in Toronto.

Puts away goal in loss
LWToronto Maple Leafs
January 20, 2026
Robertson scored a goal and added two hits in Monday's 6-3 loss to the Wild.
ANALYSIS
Robertson's tally came in the third period, cutting the Wild's lead to 5-2, but the Maple Leafs didn't make a rally out of it. The 24-year-old winger has done fine in January with five points and 11 shots on net over nine outings, mainly in a third-line role. He's at 11 goals, 24 points, 76 shots on net, 51 hits, 23 blocked shots and a plus-1 rating through 46 appearances.

Past Fantasy Outlooks

2023
2020
Given a chance to stick in the Maple Leafs' lineup for a while, Robertson did fine with 27 points and 96 shots on goal in 56 regular-season contests. He'll play all of 2024-25 at the age of 23, which still lends some optimism that we haven't seen Robertson's top gear. Unfortunately, it'll be difficult for him to reach the next level if he continues to see bottom-six minutes -- he averaged just 11:23 of ice time last season. Robertson's youth is a plus, but he'll need to work his way into a regular top-six role to make sustainable gains on offense. Keep an eye on him in training camp, as a strong showing there could make him a popular sleeper pick in drafts scheduled closer to the start of the campaign.
Robertson played just 15 games for Toronto a season ago (two goals, five points) and none after early December. It was announced in mid-January he underwent shoulder surgery which wiped out the rest of his year. Set to turn 22 just prior to the start of training camp, Robertson has seemed like a prime change-of-scenery candidate for a couple seasons now and nothing has changed on that front. The shoulder issue came with a six-month recovery period, so Robertson shouldn't be at risk of missing any time in 2023-24, but he's almost certainly going to start the campaign in the AHL.
Robertson's ascension over the 2019-20 season was nothing short of amazing. Drafted 53rd overall in the 2019 Draft, he scored 55 goals (86 points) in just 43 games with the OHL Peterborough Petes and was invited to the Leafs' return-to-play training camp. Robertson then dressed in four games against Columbus in the qualifying round and didn't look out of place -- he even drove play when he was on the ice and scored his first goal. His release is a rocket and he's like a dog on a bone in puck pursuit. The kid is a second-round steal and could break camp this season on the third line. Robertson will be in the top six in a few short years.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Trade rumors still swirling
LWToronto Maple Leafs
October 16, 2025
Robertson's name is being heard in trade rumors again, David Alter of The Hockey News reports Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Robertson has had no luck in gaining a spot as a top-six forward with the Maple Leafs and his defensive skills are not conducive to a bottom-six role. Robertson needs a fresh start, likely in an organization that could use another offensive threat on their top-two lines. Robertson has one assist and eight shots on goal in four games this season.
