"It is no secret that the Toronto Maple Leafs have been struggling to put the puck in the net. When their stars aren't taking over the game, it is hard for the Maple Leafs to win. Their bottom six is built upon big physical players that grind the other teams' lines to wear them out by the end of the game."
"Nick Robertson was drafted back in 2019, 53rd overall. He was a superstar in the OHL, scoring 55 goals in just 46 games during the 2019-20 campaign with the Peterborough Petes. Robertson was looking like an absolute steal for the Toronto Maple Leafs. He developed well and made his NHL debut in the bubble against the Columbus Blue Jackets. Robertson scored one goal in four games for the Leafs."
"The Maple Leafs have struggled to score as of late, costing them many games, ultimately slipping down to last place in the Atlantic Division. The reason I'm writing about Robertson stepping up is that all of us know what kind of player he can become. When given the right opportunity, Robertson can thrive, but he can't at a consistent rate."
Nick Robertson was drafted 53rd overall in 2019 after scoring 55 goals in 46 OHL games for the Peterborough Petes. He made his NHL debut in the bubble, scoring one goal in four games, but later struggled with injuries and inconsistent play. Robertson showed promise early this season but has regressed, missed time, and struggled to stay in the lineup. The Maple Leafs rely on star scoring and a physical bottom six that does not produce goals consistently. The team has slipped toward the bottom of the Atlantic Division because of scoring issues. The Leafs need Robertson to deliver consistent offensive production to improve their playoff chances.
