Nick Robertson, what do you think about this Kid ?

  • Xenforo Cloud will be upgrading us to version 2.3.5 on March 3rd at 12 AM GMT. This version has increased stability and fixes several bugs. We expect downtime for the duration of the update. The admin team will continue to work on existing issues, templates and upgrade all necessary available addons to minimize impact of this new version. Click Here for Updates
  • We're expeting server maintenance on March 3rd starting at midnight, there may be downtime during the work.
no reason to call him up. with the flat cap for the next projected 4 years. 3 of those years with Robertson on ELC will be more helpful than anything. I mean maybe we call him up for a view and if hes good enough to make it worth burning a year... Im sure they will
That’s a solid point. Big minutes with the Marlies will never hurt him.As long as he can stay there when/if Ohl goes. The Petes offer him nothing.

Until, we have an injury free, guy who can be over the line Me personally? I don't want to trade em.

I am talking goaltending.

I am pretty sure Dubas is smoke screening talking about forwards. He has to know what everyone on this board knows

Get a Binnington. Or just play it out.

I am attached to Liljegren. Cause he is large, really fast, can maybe become a Larry Robinson lite.

Robertson? Edgy, guy, who wants it more than just about anyone. Who wants to give that up?

Sandin, cerebral, could really be something.

To see any of those three traded for a top seven forward? Count me out... As a fan of that transact.

Still love the blue and white. Always will. But........

I hope Dubas is smoke screening here.
 
I’d move Amirov no problem, in the right deal. Robertson I’d move too, but it would have to be a pretty special player coming the other way. Comtois is a guy I’d move Robertson for.

Robertson needs a full season more in the AHL IMO. He’s got a great shot, but I believe could benefit from rounding out his game and decision making away from the spotlight. There is nothing wrong with over ripening your guys, and in the end, putting them in the best position to succeed.
 
Scotty Bowman tinkered and tinkered. I think Dubas has the green light to do the same.

Me? I think I would advise him. To get, if possible a goalie.

We actually, do not have one right now. We have a guy we all love, Campbell, but he seems to be a Lupul in the making.

And I loved Loups. Guy had the moves, the shot, the everything, just couldn't keep the body together.

My final stand is that we don't have the voodoo doll, yet.

Wish we did, we would really make a splash.

I am reasonably confident Dubas, is smoking here, about trading nice futures for a top seven forward.

If he isn't. Wow, he is going all in on something, I don't see at this point.
 
I thought Pat Quinn, was the stupidest man in Leaf history, for signing Ed Belfour.

Showing, clearly, I am dead wrong some times.

Not often, but on the Eddie move? After loving Curtis Joseph?

Hey, no problem, I was dead wrong Who wasn't on that one?

We need a Belfour, or a Joseph. To step in and take that Cup and drink.

Andersen, was kinda like that, bout three years ago.

Me? I just don't want to hear about forwards. We have some real good ones.

Kyle pretty sure you are smoke screening, good on ya mate.
 
To me ? Freddy was really good for us For quite some time.

But the groin for a goaltender? Lets ask poor Ian Scott, we had a superstar lined up there.

Voodoo? Call it what you want. I don't know why any parent would want their child to go into this territory.

Freddy was darn good to me, but it was two to three years ago.
'
What we need is a guy whose groin will hold up, and we will go hard and possibly sip on some cheap champ.

Over and out guys, gotta work in the morning

The wrist shots on guys in the NHL now, would RIP OUT, an Echl goaltender first period imho.

They are insane. The fallout? NHL goalies, specially during covid quarantine procedures.

I always liked Reimer. I always like Andersen. But heh, I loved Mcilhenney. Can we get him
 
I could pry on a daily basis, to get the real dressing room stuff here. But .... I dont want the grief, all I know is I signed up Borje. But its a public company.
'
And HE, lol, gives me no scuttlebutt at all, I get it from former third liners.

Borje, is still the KING.

They don't call him the KING for nuthin. He gives me zero scuttle. Just tells me everyone is very good.

Love the guy.

NHLers are like that. I don't know why. They don't talk out of turn at all. Like its an unwritten code.

Theyy will just not say anything bad about their teams or the NHL. Very, very few anyways. I respect that, I never played a shift in the NHL.

Lol, I know if If I asked Borje about Freddy? He would say, he is a phenomenal testament to Euro Scando players.

So no use asking. Borje, was the best man.

NHLers. To be friends with them? Takes a lot of time, for them to like you.

They went through such a meat grinder to get, wherever they did.

I guess they all desire to get through, to that magic game mark, where they get that perennial NHL pention.

So when you get to befriend one of them, or two of them or more of them.

Their agents feel you right up. And its not comfortable.

But if you get through the gauntlet? Its fun.

Best guys. Worked their arses off.

Heh, think Wendel got a shot like that, on his recess?

Auston?

Rick Vaive?

Rick Vaive scoring from the blue line? Auston Matthews scoring almost, almost as soon as the puck in any condition? Hits his stick?>

Twenty or thirty games of seeing Brian Leetch?

\
Seeing Alexander Mogilny? For a while?


Rick Vaive for me? Seeing that guy tee up a slapper from the blue line Everyone knew what was coming?

Coming out of the dressing room with an chinchilla coat

Who in the NHL can score from the blue line, even now?
 
Back to the point? Nick Roberston?

No, I dont't want to trade him at all.

I have seen the greats of this franchise and hung out with them, I will ask them about Roberton

But guess what? They will not say much. They just don't want to jinx a player much younger than them

They just will not. They all understand they ran through an amazing grinder, gauntlet.

I challenge any of you to find an NHLere to say robertson is not going to make it

Its a hidden code. That is why its a great day for hockey, they won't do that to a guy.

Love NHL players if and when you get to know them, their mutual respect is something, it really is.

Its a code. Don't say anything bout fellow players. You hear anything? No you do not.

They know how hard and lucky you have to be. And you are not going to hear it from me .
 
Whoa, said too much, but its the truth. NHLers know how lucky they are to play in the show.

So tough to get into even one game in the show.

Very, very rare to hear even a guy you consider a friend, who played in the NHL, to make a comment.

They just know.

Its tough, tough as heck.

I don't even ask any more I know Vesey's peeps. Not a peep.

Its been a quarantine since Milt Schmidt.

Liljegren? Trading him?

Big body Fast Very fast. Great passer, tremendous shot

Lets trade him. Or? Get him a coach, who can make him what he ultimately is?

Norrish trophy winner.

Trade Lilly? Who has missed almost two seasons? And crushing the AHL?

Nope. If Dubas trades him? Who? Who does he bring in?

“Its been a quarantine since Milt Schmidt”

always love the most obscure references ...

Thanks TK. Who is your favourite of the two? You never actually saw Teeder did you? I saw keon lots.

Imagine Keon with modern days skates, he probably wouldn't even touch the ice.
 
Trade any of them for the right return.
I like Sandin to develop his straight line speed to an NHL level but bottom line he is not NHL level speed yet so if it brings us a player who we don't have today to win a Cup sometimes you gotta make da hard calls ... keep in mind we are gonna lose Dermy unless we do a deal with Seattle for our 1st rounder so that means we better land a vet defender to replace otherwise it is Lily next year ... to me I'd much rather give up Robertson ... wingers are not a big deal to lose or give up and we can always pick one up for next year
