Per David Alter Nick Robertson is absent from Leafs practice due to an upper body injury. He is considered day-to-day.
For pity's sake TRADE NYLANDER!!! Overvalued contract for a player whose best effort is when he's cherry-picking, who doesn't play inside his own zone, AND a guy who frequently laughs (on camera) whenever he gives up a goal from bad defensive coverage! Nick Robertson has virtually given his blood, sweat & tears EVERY shift, with an insanely undervalued contract who WANTS to contribute each night, and gives you more grit than Nylander (mind you there's more grit in a steak at The Keg than there is in Nylander so it's not saying much)…
Some of the NEEDED things we could potentially get in return for Nylander:
* Cap Space!!!
* A decent 3rd line centre (or you can take a swing at a 2nd line centre who plays BOTH sides of the rink)!
* A big RD (if Hakanpaa isn't good to go and OEL continues to look as rough)
…Best of all we get to keep Marner once we dump Nylander! By putting Robertson on a 2nd line with Domi & Tavares, we don't lose too much offense (yes of course Nylander is the ''higher talent'' but it would be great to have a 2nd line that knows how to play BOTH sides of the ice while still having above average talent!)
A better 2nd line + cap space + keeping Marner + adding prospects and/or depth…all for dumping Nylander?! C'mon it's a no-brainer Boston Pizza Junior!!! Time for Robertson (and the Leafs) to be rewarded for all that he's been put through and all that he continues to do!
That would be a bad move if they trade Robertson, you wouldn’t get near the same value back, big mistake!!!!!!
All good until he has his yearly injury .
He deserves a spot on the team. This guy will work hard and only get better and better.
trade em for a bag of pucks
Not a guy that pays for cable but had to call up Rogers to get my sports channels so I can watch all the Leafs game lol
Robertson would be a good fit with JT. And Marner. Someone who can get him the puck and use that shot of his.
Stolarz was cool man
trade Robertson now while he's "hot"…. before he becomes the turnover machine that he is.
he deserves a spot on the 3rd for sure. As a coach I would say "score and play hard on the 3rd."
Robertson is a 3rd liner
If you subtract Robertson 5 goals and the Leafs preseason so far has been terrible.
Gee, the Leafs should have signed Robertson for 7m X 7 year contract😃. Just kidding but good for Nick.
Robertson Matthews Marner
Would have the potential to be the top scoring line in the league.
Knies Domi Nylander
Unfortunately, he's injured again. Just a minor one, but do we keep an injury prone player, or trade him when his value is this high? I know you guys want to keep him, and he definitely has impressed so far, but it's a tough call….
They’d be fools to trade him
How do you trade a player who's playing so amazing?
Many teams are going with goalies by committee, due to how hard it is to find an elite goalie, but this might just prove to become the way.
Second line during pre season game should be domi center, nick robertson wing, Nylander wing.
No to max p to old i'd rather them focus on steve lorenz

Flames gave up on Martin St Louis which turned out to be a huge mistake as he was instrumental and defeating them in the Stanley Cup final. Flames also gave up on Marc Savard (as a player.) my point is that there is a very long list of very successful smaller players. I just hope that he can stay healthy. Big effective talent I think.
