Restricted free-agent forward Nicholas Robertson avoided arbitration and signed a one-year contract extension worth $1.825 million with the Toronto Maple Leafs, the team announced Saturday.

Robertson was scheduled to have his arbitration hearing on Sunday, Sportsnet reported.

He recorded 22 points (15 goals, seven assists) in 69 games last season for Toronto. He signed a one-year, $875,000 contract ahead of training camp last year on the heels of requesting a trade from the team.

Robertson, 23, has totaled 56 points (32 goals, 24 assists) in 156 career games since being selected by the Maple Leafs in the second round of the 2019 NHL Draft.
