Nick Robertson signed to 3 yr ELC

Frank Seravalli reported yesterday that the current NHL-CHL agreement expires this summer and there's a chance the new agreement could allow 19 year olds coming out of the CHL to play in the AHL. Gotta imagine that's something the Leafs probably wouldn't mind.

Just a reminder that Robertson is the youngest person in the Leafs org other than Martina. He was five days away from being eligible for the 2020 draft.

That 38G 19A for 57P in 34 games, he had 55P in 54 games last year.

And SDA has absolutely blown by his point totals from last season. He had 46 points in 62 games then, 61 points in 45 games now.

Almost mirror image hah. Kinda hope he gets just 1 point in his next game.
 
The primary change was Robertson as a rookie deferred to his teammates (who weren?t that good) and then after Leafs dev camp this year decided to just shoot more because he knew he could beat Junior goaltending from just about anywhere. The goals are getting the attention but his work drive continues to be what will translate to NHL success. I can see him on a line with a speedy pass-first centre like Kerfoot next next season if he can build up more strength.

That soon? Not sure if I buy that. His brother is taking time developing, although Jason had a better draft year, he didn't have the same D+1 breakout vs draft year.

Highly unlikely but you never know with these kids. No one has scored at this rate in over 12 years. I didn't look any further then that.  Man he and SDA are so young.
 
Um did Robertson just increase his scoring pace?

He?s tied for the league lead in goals again with 41, even after playing 10 fewer games than fellow leader Jack Quinn. He has scored in 13 straight games.

Nick took a break from scoring the other day to rest his goal streak 14 games). Kicked up a new one last night probably; point streak continues at 17 games. The tweet should read 44 in 39 games. 6 goals in his next 11 games will give him 50/50 but he?s on track to exceed that.

Its so interesting to me that he's doing what he's doing at his age when he was days away from being born after the cut off and would be putting numbers like this up in his draft year. I'm really hoping he comes through as a player for us.
 
I?m a bit worried about the gaudy goal numbers (at the same time celebrating it) because a lot of these are Juniory goals. Just an overpowering shot at this level that he can just launch it from weakly contested ice. It?s got deception and juice, no doubt, but it?s not Auston Matthews. He has lots of projectable skills though, as he is speedy and greasy and extremely willing.

I get the hesitation to go overboard with praise but let it be what it is. We have no idea if this can translate to the NHL level. We don't even know if he'll even make the big show for sure, chances are yes. However no one has scored at a better pace then Nick in 15+ years. The biggest things for me are... He's tied for 17th in games played on his team, yet leading in goals and points. It took him just 32 games to do what he did in 54 last year points wise and just 23 to match his goal output. He's currently at 46 goals in 40 games which actually leads all of the CHL. He's only been goalless in 8 games and pointless in 3. He's leading the OHL in goals, 1 up on Jack Quinn who's played 12 more games. He's only 9th in PPG so he gets a lot at even strength.
He so young. Just think he was 17 at the time of the draft when the Leafs grabbed him. He won't be 19 until Sept. Lots of strength to gain yet. Hope for the best for him.
Sidenote...SDA sits 3rd in assists in the OHL.

48, 49 in game 43 after losing his point streak in game 42.

SH goal for #50
 
Yup. Nothing quite like a milestone hat trick.
