Well, well: for those Devils fans who were already (foolishly) spouting that the Devils were going to be “rolling out the same roster as usual,” he has made a big signing in free agency after all.

Nick Robertson never got a real shot with the Toronto Maple Leafs. At least, that was his belief, leading him to ask out last year. That request finally came to fruition on July 1, when the new Leafs regime traded the restricted free agent to his former general manager, Kyle Dubas and the Pittsburgh Penguins. He had filed for arbitration, but the Pens & Robertson will avoid that by coming to an agreement today on a two-year deal. Nick Robertson and Pittsburgh have a settlement 2 x $3.25M...

With hindsight, there were no shortage of […]
