Leafs’ Nick Robertson healthy and motivated ahead of ‘very important’ season



Nick Robertson is ready to turn the page on an injury-plagued start to his NHL career. “The show goes on,” the Leafs winger told TSN. “The secret to success for me is just being healthy.” Robertson sustained a shoulder injury in December, which required surgery. “Since the season’s been done I was like, ‘Ok, it’s a fresh start,’ and I’m just excited and ready to go.”

  1. One of my breakout candidates! Very talented and one of the BEST shots I've seen, hope for the best

  2. Leafs dont like him. Never have. They ignored him while guys like Joe Thornton and Jason Spezza got ice time. They dont know how to develop players

  3. This is his last chance. Honestly watching that hit again if that made him have surgery he has a problem. There is 0 chance they can give him a roster spot , all you can do is wait till there is an injury and try him out as a call up. There is no point in trading because there is no value , I doubt you could even acquire a 5th for him at this point.

  4. Masters needs practice in reporting. Nicks going to do fine in the NHL. Just needs to be healthy and time to develop. Just like Masters needs Practice

  5. Robertson will never out muscle larger NHL players. His gritty style is admirable, but may also shorten his career.

  6. He has skill but honestly that hit he gets injured on, he initiated contact and got thrown into the wall. Not very encouraging in my mind if he cant stand his ground physically. I would compare him in size and stature to Marner. So its not impossible but even Marner at his age wasnt getting thrown around. Hope he can get bigger and stronger.

  7. Guy should have been coached a little different, and how he should play. In this rate he's going to retire very soon.
