K bye
Seems weird after the coach change, but hopefully we can get something back of value
Friendship ended with Nicky Robby, now Domi is my best friend
Damn. Really felt like this was gonna be a great season coming up for him. Oh well.
Well….bye
Well yeah, the guy played like a 20 goal and 40 point scorer and they refused to play him almost half the year. Unsurprising.
I mean I understand. He’s a young player who probably should have been given more consistent playing time over a few of the options who’ve been given opportunities before him. He seems like he’s the type of player to get traded and thrive with opportunity.
He’s a an RFA with no arb rights and 34 points in 87 games.
I stuck up for this kid for the last 5 years, I too am also tired… Be free Nicky Bobby, be free…
Requesting a trade is no problem. Clearly not in their plans to get an expanded role. That being said no plans to re-sign? Give me a break. What are you gonna do if they don’t trade you? One of those situations where the player for his value has no leverage whatsoever.
Trade him for a defeseman of equal value
Send him to New Jersey. Heard the coach there really likes him
Just tell him he has to sit or sign. I’m not moving him unless we get great value back. Leafs need to be more ruthless.
Lmao, too bad for him. Prior to this year dude was too unhealthy to even surpass 20 games in a season. I don’t know what his problem is.
Let him sit.
I know people like to spew hate on these types of scenarios, but…
…I dont really blame the guy. He was simply not going to get much of a chance here with Cowan and Minten coming in and the higher utlization of Knies and Domi. Of course a lot of that is on him as his play was inconsistent when he had his chances. He has talent, and I think he could even thrive on a team like Chicago or Utah. Perhaps with his brother in Dallas or even on one of the California teams where he grew up (San Jose would probably take a flyer on him).
I know he is getting lots of slack here (and that is fine), but I wish him the best and hope he does well in the NHL.
Soft injury prone player. Good luck on a new team.
The conversation with Berube didn’t go well, my guess.
Bah gawd that’s Pontus Holmbergs music
Well, that’s disappointing.
I don’t think he’s exactly been set up for success given how he’s been utilized on the team , but I hoped he would push through and earn a full time spot at the top of the lineup next season.
Also disappointing that this is coming out in the media.. probably lowers the trade value.
Unrelated note: Just realized the kid’s birthdate.. ouch.
Unlike some Leafs fans, I am not happy about this. The Leafs need cheap depth scoring and Robertson provides that. Nick Robertson was scoring at a 20 goal pace last season while averaging just 11:22 in ice time. He’s also only 22 years old. Some prospects don’t see their first NHL ice time until 22 or 23 and here we have many people writing him off already.
This fan base was in love with Robertson only a few years ago when he scored 55 goals in 46 games in the OHL. Injuries and Covid have delayed his development, but I’d say he is still at a good spot being a 22 year old scoring at a 20 goal pace. Wish it didn’t have to come to this. I thought he had a better chance this season with a new coach.
Trade him to the Devils so Keefe can fuck him some more
Yes he scores, but I personally did not – and do not – trust Nick Robertson with the puck on his stick in *any* scenario besides him actively shooting it. This team already has too many players that they need to shelter defensively for him to raise a stink like this. Skill issue.
