Nick Robertson will not be returning to international competition this winter. What’s next for the Toronto Maple Leafs top-prospect?

It was almost a certainty that Toronto Maple Leafs forward and top-prospect, Nick Robertson was going tobe on USA Hockey’s World Juniors Championships (WJC) roster. The United States unveiled its 25-man National Junior Team 25-man roster on Saturday morning and Robertson wasn’t on it.

As much as fans wanted the Maple Leafs to allow Robertson to play in the IIHF tournament, it appears as though they have blocked his path.
