F Nicholas Robertson - Peterborough Petes, OHL (2019, 53rd, TOR)

[DieTomi]

How this guy didn't go top 10 I'll never understand. Biggest steal of the draft, no one can deny it.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

it seems like the coaches really like him. I'll be a bit surprised if he doesn't make it

Let’s not get too carried away, he’s 5’9” and was good but certainly not dominant in the OHL. I like him, great value in the late 2nd round, but hard to argue he should have gone higher than early 2nd/late 1st based on his current body of work. He has a long way to go before he’s a Gallagher type, or even a Trevor Moore.

Please tell me you're kidding.

That poster is just baiting people to hate leafs fans, they've done it before.

Looks like it's already working

Top 10 is pushing it, but I'll address a few things. He's 5'9, but look at his father and look at his brothers. All above 6+. Theres no way he stays 5'9. He's also like a few days away from being a 2020 eligible, so theres time to grow for sure.

As for his production, I've seen him quite a few times and to be fair, this team sucked. Chisolm and Merkley were the only other good players. SDA was non-existant this year and I thought he should've been much better. Next year may be huge for Nick (and SDA). He did put up a PPG and lead his team in points and in PPG, thats actually really good, especially for someone that was 4 days off from the 2020 draft. Imagine if a kid did that for 2020 ? He'd be seen as Perfetti, which is pretty much a top 20ish pick so far.

The Petes were 33-31. They virtually were dead in the middle of the standings and in goals-for. Are you thinking of his brother's team or something, because Kingston is a team that sucked?

I love him as a player but his team was solid but underachieved.

 

[Jives]

I think Perfetti is almost a kick in the top 10 next year. I could see him going in the 5 to 8 range.

It wasn't a good team. Well, I guess it was a middle of the pack, but what ever. Its not something Id describe as good.

 

[lakai17]

How does he compare to his bro?

 

[WTFMAN99]

Best to keep expectations etc in check, it's just a tournament in the summer ultimately so let's not lose our minds. Glad he is doing well though.

 

[justafan22]

It would be one hell of a story if he turns out to be a good NHL player.

This would be a good post in the Perfetti thread.

The Petes had a good start and a very poor second half.

I wonder what changed mid-year........

HAHAHA

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Both have complete skill sets. I don’t think size is the issue that some state for Nic and I don’t think skating is the concern some state it is for Jason. Both are similar level players, in my opinion. They should be top six wingers, more likely second line than first.

Yikes. I bet you think Liljegren is gonna be a #1 dman?

Pretty much. @DieTomi is a Canucks fan masquerading as a Leaf fan.

Weird, because just a few months ago you were wondering if he'd be a late 1st.

Anybody see a team biting on him late first round? There could probably be a fit with a team like NYR or CAR.

Even if he weren't a known troll tho, if he were a legit homer Leaf fan, his is the only outlandish post from a Leaf fan I can see in this thread, and yet his post is the only one non-Leaf fans are responding to, to mock. It would be unnecessary if he were a homer Leaf fan, since the troll aspect is known, it's just sad people seem to want to fall for it so badly every time.

Lol I’d be surprised if he’s anything more than bottom pairing.

 

[DieTomi]

Beast.
