Description

Do I believe that Robertson will be given a 9-game stint in the NHL this year? Yes. How do the Leafs make that work? Well that's another story entirely. The leafs go about 400K over the cap the moment he comes onto the roster, meaning someone else would need to be waived.

For players with a shot at making the Leafs this year that are waivers exempt, there's Robertson, Engvall, Barabanov, Korshkov, Anderson, Lehtonen, Liljegren, & Sandin. I only projected two of those players going on the opening night roster, and only one of those actually playing opening night, with Barabanov getting the 12th forward slot to start the season, and Lehtonen coming in where the Leafs feel they need more offensive punch, and Bogosian when they want a better PK presence. I'd wager that for Robertson to get game action, Lehtonen is sent to the taxi squad for the game, as I would think Barabanov's slot on 4LW would remain and someone like Vesey or one of the 3 veteran forwards would come out so that Robertson could play 3LW.

Good thing they refused to allow Robertson to go to the WJCs then. It would be a shame for the Leafs' to have their top prospects actually playing hockey games somewhere.

Kid seems pretty single-minded to me regarding the NHL.

Wouldn't surprise me if passing on WJCs was a mutual decision behind closed doors.

Team has a responsibility to do what is in the best interest of their young prospects. If the team elected to have him not go to the WJC and then plunk him on the taxi squad then they are completely irresponsible.

If the kid doesn't want to do anything that may jeopardize his chances of making the team, I doubt the team is going to force him to get on a plane.

You have no idea how the conversation went,

Do you think Chicago has any regrets about sending their top prospect to Edmonton?
