Let's be fair to Nick Robertson - he looked pretty decent and competitive for a lot of the year. He's crafty but isn't the best skater. He works hard, but isn't always effective or accomplishing what he's trying to do.

We know he has defensive shortcomings - and he didn't play with Kampf on the checking line, for example, as a result of that. He did play 217 minutes with Domi as his centre (12GF / 10 GA), 127 minutes with Holmberg as his centre (9GF / 6GA) and 89 minutes with Tavares as his centre (6GF / 4GA).

He was 16th in the NHL in G/60 at 5v5, so he was making the most of the minutes he received and the minimal power play time he received (45 minutes) were negligible - but of his contemporaries on the Leafs who also received a glance of PP time, he did outperform Knies, McMann and Jarnkrok; he did have more PP points/60 than Bertuzzi or Domi.

I say this not to talk up Robertson too much but to note that he is much better than many want to dismiss him as being. He deserves a shot to stick in the top-6 and if he fails then he deserves a shot to prove that he can be effective secondary scoring - Daniel Sprong has carved out an entire career being what Nick Robertson presently is and I think Robertson can be more.

He's skilled, small and often injured and the Leafs have enough small / skilled but not really physical players.

He definitely has trade value and I'd be using the info you posted above in the conversations when trying to use him as part of a trade to get more of what the Leafs are short on but that's just me.

Who gives an undersized shiite about Nickky Bobby??

He's a meh player at best. Provides nothing amazing on either side of the puck. Too small. Doesn't have any grit to his game. Oft injured. Oft stumbling and getting knocked around.

The last thing the Leafs need on the roster is another undersized player...especially one who doesn't do much of anything.

Move the (frank) on already.

well hes now down to tavares level of goal scoring mediocrity

lol you guys make this sound absurd.

JT is still a 65P player when the average for a second line C is 50P.

Leafs will sign Habs legend craporretty.

Pretty wild how Robby doesn’t sign a one year prove it deal…there is a clear spot for him and it would be his to lose.

The dude is scared of Cowan, A Nylander and potential PTOs. He wants to go to San Jose and get gaurenteed playing time.
