Poor kid. Can't stay healthy.

 

[BTP]

damn man

 

[Martin Skoula]

Holmberg isn’t much bigger and just took a bigger hit into the boards shoulder first, only thing bothering him is the flu right now. Robertson needs to figure out a way to handle the day to day physicality of this league, he’s getting injured on plays that normal sized players face every other shift.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

I dont think Robertson has the body to be an NHL player especially if he doesn't change his style of play.

I would consider trying to trade him this summer while (if) he still has value

 

[Morbo]

Pretty obvious Robertson can't handle the NHL from a physical perspective. Tough blow for a system that wasn't deep to begin with.

His value is pretty much gone at this point....

Leafs prospect system is good. Don't believe the media. Unless you mean NHL ready players than sure at least up front

Another tough one for Robertson. Feel for the kid. Not that this affects it but still another forward is needed

That is my worry too.

Came in to post this same thing.

Probably best to see if he can bounce back from it. His value would be at his absolute lowest right now.

 

[SprDaVE]

Really unlucky. Let's hope he bounces back.

Tough break for Hollowell too. He was just showing he had some form of NHL potential as well.

 

[1specter]

That really sucks for Robby, poor guy.

 

[Larcos_Unal]

I'm sure this has been beaten to death and will continue to be beaten to death forever but, maybe we should draft more physically developed young men in the future. They can skate like the wind and shoot missiles but if their season is ended by a routine fight for the puck what's the point?

 

[Swervin81]

Sucks to see this continue to happen.

Dude needs to learn how to be a bit more slippery at his size. Reminds me a bit too much of Grabovski or Kase in the sense that he puts himself in danger a lot.

 

[TMLeafer]

Brutal. For hollowell too, he was a pleasant surprise.

 

[Ziggdiezan]

That is fair, though I guess that depends if you think he can bounce back. If the medical team thinks this will keep happening it is likely better to get something than nothing.

If it will keep happening why would any Team give up anything for him?

 

[Buds17]

That's not going to be too helpful for his (Robertson) development.

We gave up a future Lindros for an injury prone Timmins.

 

[Rob Brown]

Poor guy has shit luck.

He has next to none right now. Can’t trade him.

He plays the way everyone wants Engvall to play.

[Mickey Marner]

Well, he has six months of leg day to get stronger on his feet.

 

[Fogelhund]

Six months puts him to June. Hopefully he heals well by then and can focus on his fitness, and building a body that can handle the rough and tumble NHL. Much of this he can start work on soon, some has to wait a few months.

He has the talent to play in the NHL, but he needs to find more lower body and core strength. He needs to work on his balance, to stay on his feet.

Surely the Team can see this.
