You realize, he’s acquired a fairly highly effective agent in Pat Brisson and, however checking with a few completely different folks concerned right now, , he’s, , he’s coaching again house and ready for a decision.
However, however the course of has actually hasn’t moved alongside as quick, I believe, as a camp would really like. So we’ll see the place that goes.
Jeff O’Neill: “What’s he anticipating Pierre? Like, I don’t like, what are the Leafs simply gonna say, you gotta cling tight, and you bought to attend this out? Like, how lengthy is that this, is he going to report back to camp? Like, what, how, the place, how far is he keen to go?
LeBrun: “Yeah, powerful to say proper now. And this time of yr, O-dog. There’s, , reality, should you have a look at the, lots of the unsigned RFA, there’s nonetheless fairly a piece of them.
You realize, Detroit has two main stars nonetheless, Lucas Raymond and Moritz Seider are understanding collectively in Germany with Dallas Eakins. In order that tells you possibly we’re that’s at proper now. However there are a selection of fellows, Cole Perfetti, Dawson Mercer, lots of RFA nonetheless unsigned, and it’s as a result of it’s nonetheless early.
I imply, the puck doesn’t drop for actual for one more month. And, , deadlines are inclined to spur on signing this month. However I at all times warning those that lots of these go proper all the way down to the wire, and that features the Nicklas Roberston state of affairs.
There’s actually no assure that he really will get moved, I imply, he doesn’t have lots of leverage in that state of affairs.
Jamie McLennan: “No, there’s not lots of leverage. However we’re speaking about it yesterday to Pierre is, now, right here’s a man the place the left aspect will not be tremendous cemented inside the group for the Leafs. I imply, you’ve acquired gamers which are forward of him, however , it’s not like they’re you might have 20-year vets or 15-year vets, and (Matthew) Knies is forward of him.
Bobby McCann is a man who’s a, McMann. God, why do I butcher I apologize. Two days in a row. However I disrespected. I apologize.
O’Neill: “Jared McCann.
McLellan: “I do know.”
Hayes: “Bobby McMann.
McLellan: “Bobby McMahon had a very good season final yr. There was an harm. However, , these guys aren’t 10-year vets.
So to me, Nick Robertson, that is prime for him to try to get one thing accomplished, and possibly a possibility with a brand new coach, and possibly a thinner left aspect to essentially make some noise this yr. Like, is that on the desk?
You realize, there’s, is it, is it simply he desires a change of surroundings and there’s, there’s nothing that may be accomplished between, , the 2 camps?
LeBrun: “Yeah, I don’t know that nothing could be accomplished. You, , you talked about Noodles, one thing actually vital there – teaching change. Contemporary begin with Craig Berube. I believe that’s acquired to play a job right here if he finally ends up signing.
And, , pay attention, we’ve seen on this offseason gamers elsewhere asking for a change of surroundings, after which ended up signing. Martin Necas is instance primary.

Man we wasted sufficient oxygen speaking about his commerce request going into the draft within the offseason a few months in the past, and he ended up signing a two-year take care of Carolina to remain put, as a result of it simply didn’t materialize.
I imply, , once you, once you’re an RFA, there’s solely a lot you are able to do. You realize and so we’ll see the place this goes. However once more, simply checking in with Robertson’s folks , established order so far as his high want, however that doesn’t essentially imply it’s going to occur.
