Confirmed with Link: Leafs sign Nick Robertson (1 year, $875k)

[kevsh]

I've never been a big fan for the same reasons as others who have felt the same, but I can't see how he's denied a spot on the roster after this camp.

If Berube prefers others over him in the top 9, fine, then trade Nick to a team that will give him that spot. He's earned that much.

Can't do much more in a preseason game than be the best player on the ice. I don't think there was ever much doubt that he'd make the team if he was here, but he does have to fight for his coach's confidence and his place in the pecking order for when the opportunities come.

Tbh, unless he takes a massive leap in development this year (fingers crossed) and proves to be a 30g threat, I don't think he's long for the Leafs. He's probably an NHL'er and even a middle sixer, but there's a big difference between a middle sixer on weak team versus a contender. That said, regardless of what his future holds, he's making peanuts this year and having some scoring depth is a great tool to have in the coach's toolbox.

Robertson is a guy that we're all cheering for. He works hard out there and has the pieces to be a player. Hope he does it with us.

I’m agree, I don’t know if he’s a fit on a contender today, but where the Leafs are he’s worth keeping to see what the new coaching staff can do.
Taking a chance on his upside is worth more than what they can get in a trade or if they let him walk.

Agreed.

In fact, I'd say if Robertson can't be a useful player on the Leafs' roster, then that's on the coaching staff. He's got the tools and the drive, so management has to put him in a position to succeed, or they've wasted an asset.

I've been a fan since he first got some playoff games in back in 2020. I think he can get 25-30 goals this coming year.

It really boils down to what he can do in the playoffs. It feels like they’re going to re-sign Marner so every player they sign has to help overcome that decision. If Robertson can’t handle the playoffs then 30 goals in the regular season is irrelevant.

His best game tonight against most if not all of Detroit's staring lineup. The goals obviously stick out but it's his attention to detail, effort, and defensive play that will have impressed Berube this camp.

Robertson made the team. If he's not in the lineup for game 1, its a travesty.

 

[Face Of Bear]

he's gonna cost more to re-sign than knies

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

Is there a Swiss league bum with no future that we can play instead to try and derail him again?

 

[namttebih]

This would be great. Would it be possible to play him with Marner? Please?

Kid has something to prove….let him run wild I say.

I honestly almost forgot about that…I was already worried about Woll getting injured, but when I heard the morning of game 7 that Robertson was scratched, I sensed dread….


My senses were correct.
