Newly acquired Pittsburgh Penguins forward Nick Robertson has elected to pursue salary arbitration as a restricted free agent.

He was one of 15 players to file for arbitration as announced by the NHL Players’ Association on Sunday.

Robertson, 24, just completed a one-year contract with a salary cap hit of $1.825 million.

The Penguins acquired Robertson’s rights as a pending restricted free agent in a trade with the Toronto Maple Leafs on Wednesday in exchange for a fourth-round draft pick in 2028.

A left-handed shot, Robertson (5-foot-9, 180 pounds) set career highs in games (78), goals (16), assists (16) and points (32) last season while averaging 12:40 of ice time per contest.

Robertson was a second-round draft pick (No. 53 overall) in 2019 and has spent his first six seasons in the NHL with the Maple Leafs.

Players pursuing arbitration had to file by 5 p.m. Sunday. A separate deadline for teams to pursue arbitration is 5 p.m. Monday.

Salary arbitration hearings will be held between July 20 and Aug. 1, with a schedule for specific hearings to be announced later.

Filing for arbitration doesn’t necessarily signal an impasse between a player and team, as it is often a procedural step that can lead to a contractual agreement before getting to a formal hearing, a process both parties typically prefer to avoid.

It is believed the last Penguins player to reach a hearing with the club was forward Ryan Malone in 2006.
