Heading into the pre-season, there were countless questions surrounding the Toronto Maple Leafs roster, not least of which was whether Nick Robertson would stick around.
Given his waiver-exempt status, the glut of forwards on the Toronto Maple Leafs roster and his smaller stature, nobody was quite sure he was going to make it stick.
However, following a three-point night against the Montreal Canadiens, he is now sitting on 7 points in 4 pre-season games. Even against mismatched opposition, that’s still a decent haul.
What’s more; he’s starting to demonstrate that his game is becoming a little more well-rounded and isn’t primarily focused on having an elite shot (as his 55-goal 2019-20 junior season attested to).
