A players height doesn't really tell you anything about their playing style.
The Goat is a giant but is incredibly passive Robertson quite small but very aggressive when chasing the puck
Robertsson maybe the exception. But you do need size. GOAT just sucks.
You need mix of players. Keep Roberstson but Jhonsson or Kerfoot has to go
Just too many players with similar skill set

Listed as 5'11 on HockeyDb. But You are right. How dare I try to make a point

And Barabanov is a fire hydrant who weighs close to 200. Robertson is 18.
You deserve to be called out for BS. Sorry. If I BS'd like that, I'd be fine with someone calling me out.
I'll use your own source
Alexander Barabanov at eliteprospects.com
Barbarnov weights at 179.
Even if he weighted 200 pounds, that doesn't mean he plays that game

I agree about needing a mix, i don't think you can judge a players skillset from their height though.
My bad. I misread
But my point stands. I have nothing against Robertson, he looked okay
However, Leafs don't need anymore 5'10 players.
We need some bad boys who can play and play the game hard.
I'm going to assume the Leafs find a way to source 1 high quality, top 4, RHD. That will leave the top 4 with Rielly, Muzzin, Holl, and whomever that is. Dermott might stay, might go if the Leafs end up with enough space to pursue a guy like Gudas for the 3rd pair and want to get a bit tougher. I believe they'll trade Timothy Liljegren, if anything for a change of scenery after he wasn't named to the bubble roster.
As for how the new guys acquired so far fit in:
Lehtonen -- I think will be battling with Sandin, Rosen & Marincin for the final spot in the Leafs top 6. The Leafs are likely going to need at least 2 of their 7 (or 3 of their 8) roster defencemen to be sub $900k guys.
Barbanov - Will be in the same type of mix we've had for the last 3-4 years of guys who come here knowing they may not stick on the NHL team, but at least if they get demoted they're not having to move.
Rodrigues - I think /hope he's a theoretical replacement for Gauthier, who I sincerely hope the Leafs are done with. However he may decide to chase money, and I'm not sure it makes sense for the Leafs to qualify him.
Robertson - Obviously the most intriguing guy of the bunch. The OHL has announced a return to play beginning in December which aligns with the NHL plans. I think the Leafs are going to give Robertson every opportunity to make the team given their need for some tertiary scoring, and the flexibility to roll 3 lines with high end talent on them.

Very true. No argument there.
But ever year we seem to recycle the same type of players. Ennis, Trevor Moore, Malgin, Petan, Jhonsson, Kerfoot, Brooks, Aberg
These were our bottom 6
They all play the exact same game with some variations of differences
GOAT just down right garbage. He needs go

You want to qualify Rodrigues at $2,000,000. Not a chance man. He will have to take much less and I’m guessing half or he will be let loose and trying to get a job as a Ufa in a competitive market. Thats was a arbitration award contract he is on. It was not a value contract. He’ll come cheaper or will be gone is being discussed on some sites. He’s lucky to get a $1,000,000.

Yep I was quite surprised for a young lad out of the O how he played, added. and carried himself, I think he has a bright future.
No, I want the Leafs to approach him and say:
"we can't afford to qualify you... but what we can do is give you a 2-year, 1-way deal at $1.25m/season. It'll give you an opportunity to prove yourself as a middle-6 forward in this league, and you'll still be young enough to try and strike it big on your next deal. Or, you can go try your luck in free agency, maybe find a spot, maybe end up on a PTO".
I agree.
I also agree with the points of RFA considerations, and him being fairly young and small to be playing against 30+ year old men for a full schedule.
yes I agree. I was just responding to a person that says Robertson didnt play in game 5 cause he is not NHL ready and that the Leafs shouldn't force feed him into an 82 game season.

I'd like to see Spezza back. And Clifford too, if he's willing to make less to be a Leaf.
Rodrigues probably walks after not getting a QO. He'll just be too expensive. He'd get over a million somewhere else, but not here.
I think we need an external solution to fill out the 4th line. But expect one of Petan and Malgin to be back. You need borderline guys as a spare, and in the AHL. And they're pretty perfect for that.
Goodbye Gauthier. And I kind of hope Engvall goes, too. Dime a dozen players who are mostly invisible.

Lehtonen's listed as 6'0" on some other sites. Players don't generally shrink, so 5'11" is out of date.

192 is rather closer to 200 than to 179, no?
Apparently Barabanov has tenacity in his game. There's obviously a lot of moves to come, so we can't really judge until they've all been made.
