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

[ChaoticOrange]

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.

I just couldn't pass him up with my first 2nd rounder. Ended up reaching a little bit compared to where he actually went but whatever.

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

I doubt it. 5'9/5'10 wingers with good, but not great skating are usually not picked in the top 10 of any draft.

 

[KILLger]

What if he grows to be 5'11"?

People his age are typically done growing. It probably doesn't make much difference though towards being picked in the top 10, to give an answer. 5'11 players who aren't great skaters usually aren't top 10 picks either.

Robertson reminds me of Andreas Johnsson. He's got all of the tools, just lacking in size. However does seem to be grit and determination which could end up being the difference in the end.

Need to consider who hes been playing against. Going to be a while before we see him playing professionally

Men usually grow till 21.

i've personally grew from 5'7 to 5'10 from 18-ish to 20.

 

[Brobust]

Don't know what his overall potential is but he is definitely the type of player you want to root for.

They sometimes do. They don't usually grow until 21. They usually grow until 18.

 

[Tryamkin]

Big fan of Robertson, starting to think I even underrated him a little, had him at 28.

I don't think it's completely uncommon for a 17 year old to grow an inch or two. I sprouted up 2 inches from 17-19.

^ Looks a bit like Bozak.

2+1 +3 and 6 SOG in his first game of the season.

Kid is a gem of a pick

Good scouting works!

He's going to torch the OHL this year.

He's going to torch the OHL this year.

Hope he haves some extra oil saved for him, or he runs out, cause of all the torching.

 

[Martin Skoula]

It's good to see that he doesn't have to rely on his shot at this level. I'm sure he could still put up some impressive totals just ripping picks from the slot, good to see that he's still going hard to the net and following up on chances.

If he was a inch taller he would have been drafted in the first round. Toronto will take advantage of other GMs stupidity

 

[bigbabybuda]

He is going to be a stud and make the NHL quickly. In two year he'll be there is my prediction and I think he will eventually slot in on Matthews line. He's by far my favorite prospect on this team now. Juse so excited for is arival.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Great start for Nick, 5 goals, 3 assists, 8 points, in 4 games.

 

[TheDoldrums]

He's going to score a lot of goals playing with SDA

 

[Leafs at Knight]

3 more points tonight.

 

[Apotheosis]

Great start to the season. Along with Sandin, my favourite prospect on the Leafs right now. His entire skillset was made to play with Matthews tbh. Great vision, good mobility (and if he works with Barb, he can likely get a bit faster), great shot and one timer, gritty (good for getting rebounds off Matthews shots) and he becomes a second option for Nylander to pick passes too. He's the reason I don't mind losing a few guys like Kapanen. Dude's potential is sky high.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

6 games: 2+1, 1+1, 1+1, 1+1, 2+1, 1+1.
SOG in those games: 5, 4, 3, 12, 7, 3

 

[HockeyGuruPitka]

Absolute steal in the 2nd round. season is early, but has a combination of hands, speed, and determination.
