Would love to see them give Robertson a try on that top line with Matthews/Marner. They gave Holmburg a chance and it couldn't be worse than that. The leafs need to start to give opportunity to these younger guys who can fill in the gaps like Robertson.

[@leebird76]

Keefe clearly does not like him. But if the leafs are to trade him I'd at least like to see how another coach utilizes him. He's still really young and with only 8 mins of avg. Ice time he's been getting points and putting the puck in the net.

[@sjsmooth6987]

If Robertson got traded for say a Drysdale or Byram than I wouldn't be pissed but he needs to play with Matthew's and Marner for a bit, see what he can do

[@oshawaogre]

If they need a defender it will cost something Leafs can afford to give up some scoring touch for defensive help But they need to hold on to Minten and Cowan for the future cheaper contracts with upside

[@whitehh15]

Minten and Cowen are nothing. This is the kinda of logic that keeps the Leafs terrible. If you want to make a splash and acquire actual D men, you can't pretend that every one of your 5'6 wingers are going to become Gretzky 2.0

[@patrickgmafia5216]

I'm with you Andrew . Robertson has alot of potential

[@billboggs6641]

Leafs idea of player development was to have him watch Joe Thornton from the press box

[@scottcampbell5536]

Leafs are not going to trade anybody. They wanted to trade Nylander for a top D but none were available that were suitable. They decided to wait until next year and sign Nylander. It may even be the following year until they make a serious move as contracts need to expire on big guys like Tavares. The Leaf management blew the mission by signing these huge contracts and blowing all the cap on a small group of players.

[@user-ur3et5zy9v]

Am a Robertson fan and just frustrated with the way hes treated by fans and media and his coach. Go on him for getting the winner last night a good 🖕to the coaching staff. As a leafs Fan my biggest thing the bugs me is how fast we give up on the young kids. Robertson has more goals than Bert and Domi they be dumb to trade him GO LEAFS GO great show Andrew and nice to see the jersey up and picture in the back

[@Minamakhlouf]

I don't think Robertson is the problem. Keefe clearly doesn't know how to utilize him properly and even with the crappy ice time he's been given, Robertson has produced. Giving up on this kid when he's this young is a mistake, especially since the Leafs struggled with depth scoring.

[@ColeTalksHockey67]

If the Leafs trade Robertson it’ll be a massive mistake. He needs top 6 minutes to prove his true potential.

[@sjsmooth6987]

People question at times what Robertson is doing, I question what Keefe is doing practically all the time

[@scottcampbell5536]

Keefe is out of options, just like Babcock was. A new coach is not going to fix things. It is the player base.

[@lunar33icious]

Robertson needs to have a shot with Matthews & Marner to see if they can light the lamp HUGE. Robby's got some size so he can check guys off of Matthews & Marner & has an amazing shot. Lightning speed, just needs to learn & play from the masters on the ice THEN work with the 2nd line to get those guys lit up. Tavares & Nylander could use him when he's improved as a high value winger. Trading him or letting him go would be a huge waste of a solid player, just needs better mentorship.

​@@TheOldFashionedDad I agree. He's really good

[@mig3598]

I absolutely agree with resigning but only for under a million. A no risk prove yourself deal and they need to hire a coach with more experience than Keefe. Keefe doesn't know how to develop talent at the NHL, he's too worried about imediacy and wants to win every game instead of giving guys with potential some opportunity. Keefe's idea of giving a young guy a shot is 2 periods with the top line and unless they've assisted on 2 matthews goals and made 100% passes, he'll say yeah we tried it, didn't really work out. Him and Dubas were always so short sighted and thats why they were never able to see the bigger picture and its why we lost talents that bloomed elsewhere like Hyman, Moore, Marchment, Durzi, Kadri, the list goes on. The reason why they protected KERFOOT to let MCCANN go to seattle. Also, fun fact, if you needed one to get my point about Keefe: robertson is currently at around 1.5 goals per 60. Tavares is at around 0.8/9 goals per 60. How can Keefe not see that the guy should be given more of a look, or even Domi for that matter. Keefe coaches Tavares like its his son and he refuses to drop him to a 3rd line if he's not producing

[@hockeyking111115]

Im guessing robertson will want out, he wants a full time role in the top 9

[@CoolsBreeze]

Right now I would fire Sheldon 10 times over before I trade Robertson. It would be completely moronic to trade a guy still not in his prime yet and still scoring goals right now. Last I checked you win games by scoring goals and Robertson does just that.

[@xtrickster6556]

I agree 💯 percent

[@Alex18NY]

I have nothing against small players. My favourite as a boy was Dave Keon. However, if you're not Keon, Mikita, Gilmour, etc. I have no interest in just another talented small forward. I would move Robertson, Cowan, 1st draft pick for a top 4 defenceman.

[@kevinfurtado4776]

The leafs need to build a 4th line around Reaves, get 2 more guys that can play better defensively but are hitters and can get under the skin of the other team.....I think that's the mistake they made with Reaves, they tried putting guys with Reaves that don't play that style, gotta make a tough line and I promise Reaves will be amazing.

[@waynepilotte1371]

Robertson should have a chance on the first line I have been saying that forever. I think he would do great.

[@ajhwhalen]

Agree 100%

[@TheDaysEnd]

I like the idea but Matthews and Marner do not like doing the grunt work to muck it up along the boards. You don’t want Robertson doing that and risk him getting hurt.

[@c_telking4433]

Marner is already the least intimidating winger among playoff teams. You roll out Marner and Robertson on your top line and run that against Florida you’re getting swept. He needs to be traded for a defenseman

[@petergreco7831]

So, I don't crack. Can someone explain why we're talking about trading a half point per game kid making under $800k and he hasn't even scratched the surface for his potential? Idk, maybe crack is a good idea.

[@alexrompen805]

Keefe: We need depth scoring Leafs brass" Drafts and develops a young kid who is definitely a depth scorer with a higher ceiling Keefe: No, fuck that kid, *scratches him constantly*

[@c_telking4433]

Because he’s not good enough without the puck, he is another small winger, and he doesn’t step up in big games.

[@chadwickbarry8371]

Nick Robertson for Anthony Duclair 50 percent contract straight up. "I like Will Smith" 🎯

[@kevinfurtado4776]

Imagine they didn't go after Tavares and still went after the guys they went after this off season plus keeping some of the guys they traded and let go in FA. Hyman Matthews Marner Nylander Kadri Bertuzzi Domi O'REILLY Bunting Reaves Simmons Clifford That 4th line is just to bruise the other team.

[@martinklatt6937]

If Tavares wants north of $4 million, they should let him walk. How about staying clear of the no trade/ no movement clause in future signings?

[@user-xg8ig6zx5r]

So far only Robertson, Kampf and Gregor have NOT played with the 1st line so why not try it lol. Keefe has to be fired so does Shanahan and Treliving made horrible signings and gave out worse contracts then Dubas. It is not the players only that are the problem but it is the management that got us in this horrible situation.

[@RobFazekas-ky2ow]

Timmins abramov 3rd for tanev

[@anikinkhan]

First off, we can get depth scoring on cheaper contracts to surround the top talent. The only player that has some value to get ourselves a better decor is Robertson. If the leaves play him anymore he may get injured. Ryan Reeves screwed up his chances of getting traded. Now his Play is the reason why He was scratched. Even if we send them to the minors nobody's going to pick him up. I say they send them down to the minor

[@davidjohnstone4975]

Andrew Piluk echoing so much of what I said last time this topic came up.

[@rossjackson2929]

Robertson is too small to be effective in playoffs. It is really immaterial about the bottom six. You can fill out a roster of 6 , 20 to 30 point players easilly and cheaply _ what the Leafs are doing now. There success or failure, as with most NHL teams, is based on the core 5 players and goaltending. The Leafs really have been outgoaltended in all of the playoff series in Matthew / Marner era. The core has not shown the determination or will to win thus far in the playoffs, which are a totally different brand of hockey than regular season. Enjoy their talent and entertainment value in the winter. But as for winning in the playoffs, they don't have it. A 50 plus Leaf fan.

[@charlesjewell2493]

It passes me off how coaches decide for whatever reason that they don't like a player. Babcock did this. Nick will not get a fair shake on the Leafs team. It looks liSheldon, for whatever reason has decided he doesn't like him. It doesn't seem to matter how well Nick plays. Sheldon has already made up his mind. For Nick's own good it would probably be better for him if he was traded. Sheldon is a jerk. He should set his personal feelings aside and coach the team.

[@arcone_remos]

[@oldman8952]

Lafferty is succeeding because he is playing for a good NHL coach. If he were playing for Keefe he would be another replaceable forth liner. The Marchment trade was on Dubas. Dubas was and is completely blind to the value of a player like Marchment. Robertson is an injury prone defensively irresponsible player. He has a great shot but given the Leafs current lineup it is hard to fit him in. No doubt he will go to a team with a good coach who demands defensive play and will immediately become a Selke candidate. None of the trades you mentioned help the Leafs. A defenseman of his caliber is a 5 or 6th guy. The Leafs have tons of them. If they could trade Robertson for a young second pair player, that is a trade you make all day everyday. The guy they should have moved for a defenseman was Nylander, for a top pair guy, but that is water under the fridge.

[@davidjohnstone4975]

Trading Nick Robertson makes no sense. His cost is low. And with the Big4 earning way too much of the team salary, this team needs to hold onto young guys who can contribute and don't cost much. The Leafs have a recent history of trading away young guys with contract and keeping guys with expiring contracts and bringing in more guys with expiring contracts. Look at last year -- who do they have left of guys the brought in?? 1 guy. And everyone else walked. And the guys they traded away are still playing elsewhere. Inexcusable lack of any vision of the future. They keep paying the Big4 more than they are worth -- they do not play 60 min games and some nights they just do not show up. Which is why I will not be the least bit surprised if the Leafs do not make the playoffs despite having the leading goal scorer and Nylander having a career year.

[@xtrickster6556]

[@dukem991]

Makes zero sense to trade him

[@martinklatt6937]

Robertson deserves a chance. Trading him does nothing unless he is packaged to receive a top 2 defenceman. I think Keefe should go before Robertson.

[@mikepoint4717]

If I’m Robertson I’d ask for a trade , he will never crack the top 6 IMO , not because he doesn’t have the talent it’s the other guys have the minutes. The leafs are a average team at best and it’s showing, if they keep things the way they are they most definitely will get bounced in the first round , hell they can barely beat the Ducks and Seattle. There is no identity to this team . Time for a shake up

Trade Robertson and Brodie for oleksiak. And go out and get Lyubushkin for a 3rd and then package Liljegren + for Tanev. Anything less than 2 RHD and a LHD and Brodie and Liljegren gone is a wash.

[@martinklatt6937]

So far Bertuzzi has been a bit of a bust, come playoffs hopefully he elevates his game, otherwise there is some money there to re-sign current young guys next season. If Domi is to stay, a reduced salary is fair. I am all for giving Robertson a chance in the top six for a prolonged period.

Jt has 1 more year on contract then I say get rid of him, trade out Brodie, Jarnkrok and Kampf and McMann for some solid defense like Hanafin , send Giordano down or keep as 7th D and bring up Niemala (yes he is ready).

[@late3619]

He is not put in a position to succeed. Robertson and Domi need a guy on the line that can win puck battles and stand in front of the net. Keefe doesn't play him because ever since he has been a coach he has never given young players a chance. Keefe is the problem with Robertson and Liljegren not developing because he is so worried about his job so he let's his so called veteran's play. Brodie on the PK over Lilly and when Rielly was in the box he had GIO on the PP over Lilly. If Robertson would have been in the lineup all season he is on pace for 21 goals and 39 points. That's with only 10.42 in ice-time a game.

[@xtrickster6556]

I agree

[@worldswatchdog]

Keep Robertson. He fits on that 3rd line real well. He scores. He's cheap. He's young. He'll develop. It's Reaves, Bertuzzi, that have been disappointments. Big contracts too. Leafs can easily free up 10 million if they do not resign Tavares. Johnny looks like he is slowing down big time. He's lost a step. His production is down. His faceoff % is down.
