well he doesn't have a choice.... play and sign or sit at home?Won’t be surprised when he turns into a consistent 25 goal scorer when he gets power play time. Hopefully he re signs and has a strong year for us.
Id say he’s brittle but not soft . He’ll go in the corners and fight for the puck he’s just not very strong and as a result gets nicked up on the regular .
I think he is average defensively;
I additionally think his hockey iq / anticipation skills would be an asset on the pk , like it was every stop getting to the NHL .

Why would Toronto do that when both have value ?Penguins have the SJS 3rd in 2026. I believe that plus Puustinen would be a decent swap for both sides. I don't see how Toronto can make the cap space. I could also advocate for the Penguins taking on Jarnkrok if Robertson is added for free and we send back something cheap.
Cap space. I didn't put it in my post but I was thinking Puustinen going back as a cheap roster player.Why would Toronto do that when both have value ?

Here's there's no confusion on the word choice, we just don't agree at all. I think he's quite clearly not "average" defensively. His compete level is much higher in offensive situations than they are in defensive ones. I can't think of a single defensive attribute to his game.
Nah, Timmins does nothing for us and I don't think I do DOC even straight up for Robertson. Pass.Nick Robertson + Conor Timmins

He scored 14 goals in very limited ice time including PP time. Robertson could easily score 25 goals with top 6 minutes. The guy can rip the puck.It will never happen. To be clear, this is not a controversial comment.
Personally I'd rather keep Toropchenko, but it's probably not horrible value-wise.To StL…Robertson

I’d do it just because Robertson demanded a trade. Value seems pretty similar.To StL…Robertson

DOC has a really good contract and good hustle where he can play anywhere.

Fair. Although I expect the same "but 25 -goal scorer bruh" comments from the same people like when Sturm was proposed.To StL…Robertson

He has 60 career AHL games…. 21 of those while he was still a teenager and should have been in Jr. but the league was shut down for Covid.Leafs should’ve traded him years ago.
They let him rot in the minors and hasn’t gotten many good chances at a top 6 role due to the leafs having a stacked top 6. Not worth anything near what he did 3-4 years ago now. Should trade him and a draft pick for a top 4 d man. Need to strengthen d still. Far from perfect.
Better defence will help Woll and stolarz
I swear people act like he is 26 and not 22 lol 4 years ago he was 18 going on 19. Once he turned pro he had injury issues....last season was his first healthy season since junior...when was the time the Leafs should have traded him?Leafs should’ve traded him years ago.

The problem is more time doesn’t mean you score at the same rate or overall game impact. That’s because he isn’t a good enough hockey player to be worthy of more ice time or be in a top 6. His ice time It’s not a conspiracy, it’s an evaluation of his game.He scored 14 goals in very limited ice time including PP time. Robertson could easily score 25 goals with top 6 minutes. The guy can rip the puck.
Clearly this isn't a guy you've watched very much.
I believe that poster is trying to show he’s not totally inept at defense. He played the 2-1 decently and stripped the puck causing an odd man rush the other way. I will say, imo he’s not a strong defensive player. This is a good play though.I like Robertson but are you aware this is a clip of 3 on 3 overtime I don't even think he is that lost at 5 on 5 defensively but posting this clip doesn't really help his argument that much
