I've always believed in his raw talent and work ethic... his decision-making is what has been impressive this season so far.

He is looking like an NHLer and a good one.

He looks like he is finally listening to the coaches who told him to make use of the other players on the line. He used to be a 1-trick pony when he tried to just load up his wrist shot from practically anywhere. Give and go seems to be working out much better for him and he still get's nice looks. I just hope he can stay healthy.

I think this will come. We have to recognize he’s still young. He’s only 20/21? Covid and the 2 following seasons really impacted his play. We just need to let him grow but he’s slowly getting there!

I do think it’ll improve over time, hopefully before he gets hurt again. He’s playing so well, and has dealt with so many injuries, would be huge for him to be able to stay healthy for awhile.

That Cole hit last night for example, he actually did have his head up and must’ve seen him coming, but just sort of … didn’t react?

Not sure what to make of that play. In slow motion and on hindsight you'd think he would tried driving wide to hit the blueline instead of cutting back to try and manufacture an odd man rush only to get stuck on the train tracks, but you also don't see the opposition D man stepping up for an open ice hit on a zone exit that often... Cole must have felt like he could paste the kid. And did.

He looks a lot more comfortable interacting with linemates this go round and has been visible and productive offensively.

Honestly sometimes it's best to take it full on then let an individual part of your body take the blow.
 
I really like this player. You can tell he has all the potential and skill of his brother just shorter. If he was 6’1 and had the same skills we would be laughing. Having 3 scoring lines is actually fun. Him and Domi rock together

These guys play against the top lines for the most part Robertson plays against the third. He might be able to produce more in the top 6 or not. We don’t know till we try.

He also doesn't have the name value of a number of players on that list. I'd actually settle for him having a secure spot in the lineup right now over moving him up in it.

And he's out of the lineup tomorrow again for a stiff who's done absolutely nothing so far.

I’m a big Robertson fan but I do agree he’s been struggling with breaking the puck out and lots of giveaways. Not the worst thing in the world for him to sit a few games.

One game sure. But his replacement did squat and his center man played a season low last game, so where's the upside to another benching? The third line was nothing last game, get the kid back in.
 
I'm okay with him sitting once in a while, though I would rather not him sit two straight with 2 days between each game. Who knows what Keefe is seeing in practice and such though, maybe Nick needs a break.

It's a tough grind in the NHL and he hasnt played a ton the last few years due to injury.

Agreed plus Domi gives up the puck just as much as Robertson. I’m fine with Robertson getting scratched if players that commit the same fouls also sit.

Robertson is definitely a max effort kind of guy, but sometimes I find it's painful to watch him try to break out of his zone and it looks like he's pulling out all his Pavel Bure stickhandling to get past the home blueline like the NHL is so hard for him.
 
Good coaching. Assistants maybe saying he needs a little break,
Will not hurt, he is still learning
