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

[peconcan]

No way Leafs let him go back to Peterborugh they need all the scoring they can get and he’s for sure has to be the next call up

Dunno If this is a reply to me but I meant that when the OHL season starts and he has to leave the AHL he will be called up, not sent down.

No it wasn’t a reply to you, but ya I know that and agree with you 100%

I think I would rather him play in the OHL rather then practicing for a year on the taxi squad

How is he 5'9, 161, when his older brother is 6'3, 209?

He's not as tall and weighs less.

They're not twins so while similar size among same sex siblings is fairly common it is by no means a certainty.

Nic Robertson was born prematurely which i believe affected his growth later in life.

 

[gifted88]

Being born prematurely can effect height later in life?

I was 3 weeks early, but ended up 6'4"

Nick was born 3 months early. According to a quick google, 3 weeks early would have you right on the borderline of today's definition of "premature". I imagine that the medical difference between three weeks and three months early is quite significant.

Born premature on 9/11, they weren’t sure if Leafs’ prospect Nick Robertson would survive. Now he’s an inspiration
What is full term?

Of course, it's entirely possible that Nick just got the short genes. We will almost certainly never know.

Have two sons, one premature, one didn't want to come out. One is 5'8", the other 6'1". Both super healthy and athletic, though.

TIL about premature birth height & weight issues...from HF boards.

pretty obvious ... older one hogged at the food and milk , leaving nothing but scraps for the younger bro.
Happens more than you think..

Yet another injury.

 

[bsu]

Damn

 

[ponder]

2 points his first Marlies game, was looking good. But then fractured his fibula in an awkward collision in game 2, out 10 weeks :/

can he be sent back to junior? At this point it maybe makes more sense to send him back even if it's as an OA and actually get playing time where he's less likely to get injured rather than risk sending him right back into the AHL after recovering from injury.

This makes no sense whatsoever.

You just don't understand but it's ok.

I am not sure what level you are playing at has any bearing on whether you fall awkwardly and break your leg. It could happen in practice. It is just a fluke injury. There is absolutely no benefit to sending him back to junior for any reason. The fact he is coming back from a fairly big injury is probably the biggest reason...keep him in house with our staff.

Accidents, happen, oftentimes its... accidentally

 

[SoundAndFury]

I do understand. You want to stifle his development because for whatever reason you think he can't suffer an injury that would stifle his development while playing in junior.

Furthermore, how would it help him long-term? He will become bulletproof in half a year? Yeah I don't think you thought this through.
