"After a summer filled with drama and trade rumors, Robertson and the Leafs agreed to a one-year deal. This was seen by many as a prove-it deal. The last chance for Robertson to prove he can be a constant contributor in the lineup. The hope was that not being guaranteed a spot in the future would light a fire under Robertson and finally have him live up to his potential."
"So far this season, Robertson has left a lot to be desiered. In eight games this season he has recorded one goal and one assists for two points. He's even been a healthy scratch in a game this season, and at this rate it won't be the only time he does not suit up for a game. It's time for the Leafs to give up on Robertson and find a way to get better production out of his roster spot."
"The advanced metrics only paint a bleaker picture for Robertson. According to Natural Stat Trick, he has a GF% of 49.68 and an xGF of 2.81. The metrics for the lines he's played on are not much better. According to Moneypuck, the lines he has played on this season have an xGoals percentage of 42.43% and an xGoals per 60 Minutes of 1.91. These show that neither Robertson nor the lines he's on are producing any positive results on offense."
Robertson signed a one-year, prove-it contract after a summer of trade rumors and drama. Expectations were that the contract would motivate Robertson to become a consistent lineup contributor. Through eight games he has one goal and one assist and has already been a healthy scratch. He is averaging only 11:30 of ice time, yet lacks the expected flashes of goal-scoring or playmaking. Advanced metrics show a GF% of 49.68 and xGF 2.81, while his line metrics show an xGoals% of 42.43 and xG/60 of 1.91. Those numbers indicate minimal offensive impact and limited value from his roster spot.
