"It hasn't been an easy start to his NHL career, but give Robertson credit for toughing it out, putting in the work, and rounding out his entire tool box. The shot is lethal, we all knew that from day one, but Berube has been challenging Robertson to become more consistent when it comes to puck battles, physicality, and playmaking - three areas that have stood out immensely of late."
"He's becoming more patient with the puck on his stick, looking to make a play instead of prioritizing getting a shot on net from distance. It's leading to more o-zone time for his line, which keeps the momentum in the Maple Leafs' favour, and keeps Berube happy. Robertson ranks 21st on the Leafs when it comes to average ice-time per game,"
Robertson has eight goals and 17 points in 36 games this season while continuing to develop under Craig Berube's system. He has worked to become a reliable 200-foot player by improving puck battles, physicality, and playmaking. He has become more patient with the puck, seeking plays rather than always shooting from distance, which increases offensive zone time for his line. He ranks 21st on the Maple Leafs in average ice time per game yet sixth in goals. With consistent playing time he can provide secondary scoring, add speed to the forward group, and become a dependable top-nine option.
