Create Account The restricted free agent winger was among 11 National Hockey Leaguers filing for salary arbitration on Saturday. Robertson made $875,000 US last season and was qualified by the club this week at $918,750 to retain negotiating rights. But the 23-year-old, who had 15 goals and seven assists last year in 69 games, with a goal and helper in three playoff appearances, went the arbitration route. The Leafs have looked for consistency from him after finally overcoming a series of injuries and Robertson rescinding a summer trade request. But he also sat long stretches, only to show a penchant for scoring in his first game back to tantalize the team about his potential. At the end of the season, general manager Brad Treliving said Robertson's quick and hard release was a skill the Leafs still coveted, especially as they'll look for more goals with Mitch Marner's departure for Vegas. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Arbitration hearings will be held July 20-Aug. 4 and though the judge can award a one- or two-year contract, the parties can negotiate any deal right up to the hearing date to avoid the process. If the award exceeds $4.85 million a year, the team can walk away and the player becomes an unrestricted free agent. Read More Others whose filings were announced Saturday include three Winnipeg Jets; Morgan Barron, Dylan Samberg and Gabriel Vilardi, Lukas Dostal and Drew Helleson, of the Anaheim Ducks, Seattle's Kaapo Kakko, Arvid Soderblom, of Chicago, Jayden Struble from Montreal, former Leaf Conor Timmins with the Sabres and Maksim Tsyplakov, of the New York Islanders. The deadline for club-elected salary arbitration is Monday at 5 p.m. EST. Lhornby@ On X: @sunhornby RECOMMENDED VIDEO Columnists Crime Toronto & GTA Columnists Ontario

Joe Bowen reflects on legendary career, looks forward to final season
Article content When Joe Bowen turns off his microphone for good, it'll end one of the most celebrated sports broadcasting careers in Canadian history. The Sudbury-born legend, who turned 74 in April, recently announced that next season will be his last as the radio voice of the Toronto Maple Leafs. Article content An icon in the industry, Bowen is not only the best-known play-by-play announcer in Wolves history, but also a proud Nickel City native. Article content Article content 'I'm bread and butter from Sudbury,' said Bowen with pride recently, while juggling a phone interview and dinner from a bar in Harrisburg, Penn. 'My dad was a general surgeon, worked for INCO and delivered 3,000 Sudburians so a lot of your readers, if it's not their parents, it's maybe their grandparents were delivered by my dad.' Article content Article content While his big break with the Leafs came in 1982, Bowen's first play-by-play calls were courtside for the University of Windsor's basketball team in the early 1970s, while he was pursuing a degree in communication arts. After graduating, he returned to the Nickel City to cut his teeth in the broadcast industry, thanks to support from CKSO owner Bill Plante, who was a longtime friend of Joe Sr. Article content 'My dad died when I was just coming into high school, so Mr. Plante was a very big influence on my career,' Bowen recalled of his early days behind a microphone in Sudbury in the mid- to late '70s, at a time when the Wolves had some highly competitive teams. 'He gave me the opportunity to start (in radio) and do the games with the Wolves, and we had some pretty good runs. Article content Article content 'Didn't win it, but we were as close as damn is to swearing at times.' Article content Interestingly enough, swearing, or a lack of it, is what gave Bowen his signature catchphrase as a broadcaster. His now-famous 'Holy Mackinaw' saying, to describe big moments in games like only Bowen can, was borrowed from his dad, who used it in place of swear words. Article content Joe's final Holy Mackinaw on air will come next spring — hopefully, a little later than usual. Article content 'I've been at it for 44 years almost, so it's probably about time,' Bowen said with a chuckle regarding his retirement announcement. 'It's not the same as it used to be, there are lots of changes in the industry and I just felt it's time, and we'll step aside and have one more kick at the cat. Article content How amazing would that be? A Stanley Cup victory in Joe Bowen's final season would be something to behold, which isn't lost on current Sudbury Wolves play-by-play announcer David Bowen, who left the crease in 2022 to take the same steep climb up to the press box at Sudbury Community Arena that his dad had done many years earlier.
