F Nicholas Robertson - Peterborough Petes, OHL (2019, 53rd, TOR)

[Isaac Nootin]

He had a good showing in the traverse city prospects tournament game last night I hear. Haven’t had a chance to watch, but he had 2 goals, a fight and heard he was buzzing all night after a shakey start. Seems to be consistently standing out. Looking forward to seeing him in Leafs camp.

He played great after a shakey start. I don't remember him being in a fight though?

Thought I caught in another thread that he dropped the mitts at one point. I’ll need to just watch I think Just wanted to bump to collect more thoughts on the game.

I wouldn't call it a fight. He got tangled up with a player and they were jawing back and forth. The Blues player eventually jumped him and got a 4 minute penalty.

He and the St Louis player (can't remember who) got into a scuffle, but Robertson didn't drop the gloves. Not sure if the Blues player dropped his, but he got a penalty and Robertson didn't.

I missed the first period (and the turnover) but I thought he looked very dangerous all night. Composed with the puck on his stick and very aggressive with trying to take it to the net. Both of his goals were on excellent shots and did quite well for himself at making space to receive passes when he didn't have the puck.

Thanks for the clarification about the altercation. With Kadri gone would be good to get another skilled agitator on the roster at some point.

Kid is gonna be a stud. Great value pick and opportunity to move up the LW depth chart very quick.

 

[Knies iT]

His shot/one-timer is so elite. After the first couple of shifts he took over and started dominating. He brings the complete package offensively.

PS, he’s still 17.

 

[Isaac Nootin]

Another goal and apple today. Love this kids motor.

As has been mentioned, he's an NHLer as he has the skill for the top 6, or the motor to play bottom 6.

Liked the pick when it was made, like it even more now.

He was a gem pick, in fact I like the way we are drafting in general.

 

[Orfieus]

Another goal tonight on the PP. Can't wait to see how he does in the preseason

 

[Knies iT]

Comfortably over a goal per game in this tourney. He's just on another level despite being one of the youngest players relative to his peers.

Crazy that 90% of picks in this draft are gems that are gonna be studs and could be steals.

You only went for a little bit of hyperbole here eh?

 

[DieTomi]

I bet he would go top 10 in the 2020 draft if he were born a month later.

One Canes poster convinced us that Robertson should be our 1st round pick before the draft occured. When the Canes didn't select him with either of their 2nd round picks, there was some disappointment at that, even though most of us had no idea about the guy, but that poster made a convincing argument.

@Kevin Musto - sounds like us on the Hawks board begging for Bowman to get him with our 2nd rounder lol..

 

[Byron Bitz]

Some people need to pump the breaks a bit on this kid, his post draft season hasn’t even started yet. That said I think he looks like a solid prospect with tons of potential. Definately one to keep an eye on.

Nah, until the NHL season starts, that's all we have to do is talk about how wonderful all the prospects will be, arguing over trades and making mock line-ups.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Since he's been drafed, he represented the US and the Leafs well at a couple of smaller informal tournaments. Certainly won't complain, he'll have a lot of eyes this season now

I was drafting for the Devils in the Oiler board's mock, I had both Rees and Robertson on the table and I went with Robertson. Love how he plays the game. High motor, high energy, good skill.

those were the exact two names we wanted as well..happy with Vlasic as a shutdown dman...but Rees and Robertson just check way too many boxes to not like.

I'll take that bet!

He was the first pick by the Leafs in 2019... he's always going to get more attention than most other second rounders.

Since being drafted, he's performed very well.

Top US Goal scorer at Hlinka, 4 goals, and 1 assist in 5 games. 5 points (4 more goals) in three games with Leafs at Prospect tourney, leading the squad in scoring.

He's outperformed expectations...

And still only 17. He has sky high potential. No one would be shocked to see him become an impact top 6 forward in the mold of Gallagher

Posted pre-draft that he was the guy I wanted for the Pens at 21OA barring a top prospect sliding. I’m happy with Poulin, but it will certainly be interesting to watch Robertson’s development.
