Confirmed with Link: Nick Robertson wins OHL’s William Hanley Trophy

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Pretty cool to see him named to the roster, although not a huge shock. Him being named to the roster and actually playing against Columbus are two different things

 

[stickty111]

Nice to see him getting rewarded

 

[Dekes For Days]

Wait... so he could play for us in the playoffs if we wanted?

Yes

Yeah the OHL season is over and he has an NHL contract

 

[robertmac43]

Oh man this makes things that much more exciting. Would love to see this kid hit the ground running!

 

[Dekes For Days]

Yes

Yeah the OHL season is over and he has an NHL contract

Thanks. I thought we would have had to have him on some reserve list or something at the deadline? Isn't that why Wild fans are upset, because they can't play Kaprizov?

I think the difference is that Robertson has an ELC already, but Kaprizov had a KHL contract and missed the deadline to sign and play in the NHL this year, but I'm not sure. Either way, I'd be pretty upset if I were a Wild fan. I think Kaprizov should be allowed to play

 

[ACC1224]

Excellent. He could be that 4th line spark that can sometimes make a difference in a series.

I think he plays. Just the talent level and jam and intent on his part is not just optimistic behaviour to me. He is a major talent that only lacks expierence.
All that is stopping him from playing is if he can read the game and react to it at the Nhl pace. Seems to me thats the only question at present. Dubas seems to have a idea that he wants to observe that. He might play his first Nhl hockey in the play-in round or to ge on the safe side actual playoffs if he can pace.
So lets see eh

Didn't know where to ask this but now that he's one of the 28 who are you guys predicting. Here's my list.

Forwards (18): Matthews, Marner, Nylander, Tavares, Hyman, Mikheyev, Kerfoot, Kapanen, Engvall, Clifford, Spezza, Gauthier, Malgin, Robertson, Petan, Korshkov, Aberg, Agostino

Other Possible Options: Brooks, Bracco, Wilson, Veronneau, Salomaki, Kossila

Defence (10): Rielly, Barrie, Muzzin, Holl, Dermott, Ceci, Sandin, Liljegren, Marincin, Rosen

Other Possible Options: Kivihalme, Gravel, Lindgren

Brooks was my favorite of the forward fill-ins this year. I'd like to see him make it.

And I don't know how well he did this year overall but I like what I saw from Kivihalme too.

I'd like to see brooks as well, I was just thinking management would likely take the older guys in Petan, Aberg, Agostino over him.

 

[robertmac43]

I'm thinking about grabbing a Robertson jersey when we know what number he will be.

 

[Byron Bitz]

Hyman-Matthews-Marner
Engvel-Tavares-Nylander
Robertson-Kerfoot-Kapanen
Clifford-Gauthier-Spezza

 

[weems]

Hyman-Matthews-Marner

You're missing Mikheyev.

 

[Byron Bitz]

You're missing Mikheyev.

oops your right, who’s spot does he take

 

[Menzinger]

A well deseved reward.

And while im not sure he will get to play barring an injury to another guy, this should be a good sign that hes a strong chance at beibg a season regular for 20/21

 

[Marshy]

oops your right, who’s spot does he take

you're, whose

 

[TheDoldrums]

Both Mirtle and Siegel expect Robertson to play against Columbus. Obviously a long ways off now, but that was their take in the Athletic today.

Wow, thats very interesting.

Gauthier

Spezza to C

Engvall to 4th

Him and Kappy together could make for a relentless line.

 

[Leafs87]

If he plays 9 game or less he doesn’t burn a year right?

No idea where he’d slot in or who he’d replace

That is playoff exempt i believe
