Robertson has to go on waivers to be sent down. Will the Rangers have him as a 7th dman? I think he should get a look based on that alone. It’s not like he is a 29 year old vet. Let him force his way out of the lineup. He was a 2ed round pick so Im sure some desperate team lacking defensive depth would claim him. Sharks Bluejackets maybe. Im not down on him, but the fact is the Rangers rather go with Harpur or Mackey or other AHL vets over Robertson the past dew seasons, to me that is very very telling. The fact is he has not gotten called up until this year I believe. The fact they never played him is another bad sign.
Look, if they don't give these guys some opportunities at some point we'll never know what they are, as I said before until Schneider got his call up he looked much the same as Robertson does now. Is this team committed to this player as being a part of their future? That's my question, because if they are then yes he should be their 7th dman, because Ruhwedal or Harpur aren't in the conversation as far as players in our future. We've trotted out a ton of terrible dmen the last 3 or 4 years and continued to put them on the ice, Robertson can't be any worse, he's not getting better in the AHL so like Schneider I think it's time you bring him up and work with him much like they did with Jones last year.
