I still see a Roby for Chinakov trade happening
Timmins is a defenceman. Don't comparables usually apply to similar players of similar skill and similar ages at the same position for the same length of time? Last year he went public about his request for a trade, tanking Treliving's efforts to move him. Robertson continues to be a pain by going to arbitration this year, and still hasn't been consistent enough to secure a spot on the team. He rode the bench a lot last year because of his inconsistent 2-way play. As Pat Quinn once said, 'If he wants out get the hell out!' RIP, Pat; you the man.
Nick has been one of the best players in the league measuring per minutes played. Like top 25. While playing with plugs. These guys forget nick Robertson has played about as many minutes the last 3 years that marner played just this year, and he has more goals in that time frame.
Now that marners gone he would have more of a chance then he ever has..n with a little more ice time hes a 20 goal scorer easy..how u guys can't see that
LOL, 2 million not a chance Robertson gets more than 1.6 million imo. He can shoot the puck but has nothing else to offer.
Not me clicking on the video hoping they traded him 😂
2.2 for Connor Tmmins is about right if you ask me. He's an NHL defenseman who can contribute offensively.
Even if he does get 2 million which I doubt very much. Timmins has a ton of experience. Robertson doesn't. I say Robertson will get 1.3 million a season. Even if he gets more the Leafs will likely trade him or if they can't he will be placed on waivers to hide $1.15 million of his cap hit.
You can’t go on whatever Steve dangle says. He’s never played a minute or hockey .
Timmins is a reputable Defensemen who can play on any team . 2.2 for timmins is average , especially with the cap going up .
You both do know the salary cap does go up every year yes? Why do you act like its news.. Robertson should be traded, or given away.
Robertson was a lot stronger on pucks last season, he needs to continue on working on the on ice strength and pushing off on guys.
Connor Timmins was never given a fair chance with the Leafs, he could never get a rhythm going by being scratched so much. He had an amazing spurt, where he racked up some points, then they scratched him LOL Glad he got a good contract.
From trade rumor leafs to sign Nicholas Robertson to 2 years at 2.5m aav then leafs trade Nicholas Robertson and pick to sharks for D Mario Ferraro at 50% retained if true or not we will see?
Should trade for his brother and have them on same line
And from trade rumors that teams have been eyeing RD Philippe Myers and leafs are listening to offers for Philippe Myers if true or not we will see?
From trade rumor that leafs to aquire C/RW Michael McCarron 900k aav for Calle Järnkrok 2.1m aav and F Prospect Ryan Tverberg or pick if true or not we will see?
Don't care what Steve Dangle says…
Personally i find him incredibly annoying.
In my opinion Nick Robertson was gone either way
…what are the leafs at right now…10 players for lines 3 and 4? Robertson likely to be a sign and then gone… he was never really given a chance in Toronto, shuffled around more than a deck of cards…different linemates every other game. Like many other ex-leafs, he'll shine somewhere else.
Guys, here’s a bit of career advice. Won’t cost you a dime!
Ahem… never fucking quote Steve Fucking Dangle as a source for anything! Ever!
Unless of course you need a relevant example of Leafs fans who give other Leafs fans a bad name because of their constant overreacting and being completely unprepared to talk about anything of substance. If that’s the case, make sure you use his picture.
THANK YOU!! No fee or subscription required.
A 6.3, fringe dman, with offense, who can play the PP.. Is WAY more valuable than a 5.7, fringe winger, with no defense, that takes mad penalties.
Robby and timmins, are 2 different types of players one is a left shot forward that theres a lot of and one is a big right shot defenseman
Too small. Too soft. A defensive nightmare.
Trade him.
And will Leafs FINALLY tie an anchor to the likes of Domi, Jarnkruk and Kampf and dump them overboard.
Watch Robertson score over 25 goals this season but not on the Leafs.
Robertson has lots of skill but injuries early in his carrer set him back quite a bit where his size could not defend with bigger players in height and weight but when he played last year he did very well with his skill with the small amount of games he played but he need to buid more upper strenght in his shoulders and more weight on his body to to be more competive and the size of NHL players in the leaque now.
i dont care if the cap is going up its teams like Chicago Buffalo Boston that are driving up the price for bottom six players and 6 and 7 D example Nick Foligno T. J. Brodie Timmins Tanner Jeannot and so on Timmins was over paid last year
Robertson gets pushed around too much. If he bulked up a bit and played with more tenacity, I’d keep him around.
Robertson doesn’t fit the system. Trade him for some value maybe with Reilly to Pens
They need depth on the wing …at 1.25 m roughly keep him …more minutes cause marners gone he can be 20-30 goals easy …watch
Dangle is a dumbass
Kampf, Jarny, Hakanpaa, Mermis. Bye guys.
I said in these comments weeks ago, that Robertson would be getting Close to or more than $2 million.
He falls down too much.
Tired of talking about Robertson every single off-season… trade the guy already…. talk about not wanting guys here that don't wanna be here he's the only guy that's publicly made a trade request… although rescinded he did it. TrADE the guy for whatever you can get….
I'm tired of"News" people saying Florida needs to make a trade. Rodriguez will be moved… do your homework guys… They don't need to trade anyone… there's a very good chance Tkachuk starts the season on the LTIR. Giving them actually cap space to work with until he returns…
They need to find a way to play with less skill. That is probably how they always should have approached the game but thought they could out score their mistakes and outscore their lack of effective forechecking and outscore their soft game. Clearly that was a failure.
The leafs have severely mismanaged Robertson as an asset. It reminds me very much as hiw they handled Nazem Kadri. They kept sending him down even though he may have deserved to stay in the lineup. Robertson did the team a favor last season by rescinding his trade request and then signing another 1 year deal at 1M . I think what's going to happen is Robertson will be sent to another lower teir team get top 6 minutes for a full year and he will get 25-30 goals. A guy who scores 30 goals is worth much more then what he's going to get now. He just hasn't has a continuous opportunity. Same as at the beggining when Kadri when he was here and look what happened.
Robertson did this team a favor and rescinded the trade request. Signed for whatever they offered him last season I bet they told.him sign this stay healthy and you'll get a better deal next season… w3ll h3 did and there's no better deal in sight . Reminds me of early Kadri as a leaf.
not limit here to scraping the bottom of the barrel to get views
