"Yes, Calle Jarnkrok hadn't played in awhile, and it's not ideal for someone making $2.1 million AAV to be sitting out so much, but that's not Robertson's fault. There's no world where Jarnkrok should be getting minutes over Robertson. The tough part is with the way Berube has the lines made up, Robertson got pushed down to the fourth line, and eventually out of the lineup."
"The former second-round pick has recorded six goals and six assists, for 12 points in 27 games this season. He's averaging 12:39 of ice-time per night, which is actually a career high for Robertson. His shooting percentage is 15.4%, again, a career high, and before he got scratched was on pace for roughly 100 hits, which, you guessed it, would be a career high."
"Robertson should be the Maple Leafs' second-line left winger. Easton Cowan should be playing right wing on the top line with Auston Matthews and Matthew Knies, as his facilitation abilities are much better suited for playing with the two big boys up front. Robertson can ride the left side with John Tavares and William Nylander, and use his speed to hound pucks, and find open areas of the ice to get off his booming shot."
The 24-year-old winger has shown blazing speed, strong work ethic, newfound physical touch, and advanced offensive instincts but remains inconsistent in the Maple Leafs' lineup. He has recorded six goals and six assists for 12 points in 27 games while averaging a career-high 12:39 of ice time and a 15.4% shooting percentage. Before being scratched he was on pace for roughly 100 hits. Coaches have pushed him down to the fourth line and occasionally scratched him despite his evolving, more complete game. A recommended lineup would place Robertson as the Maple Leafs' second-line left winger alongside John Tavares and William Nylander, using his speed to hound pucks and get off his booming shot.
