It was a fun 10 years. Some of the best players the Leafs have ever had.

The opportunity was there. Unfortunately I think you weren't and aren't winning with some of the core we've had over the years. We've argued this on this site till the cows come home and with the trades Dubas and Tre have made to try and win have made it that much harder to look for anything promising down the road. I'd be ok with some regress if the pipeline looked good but it flat out stinks.

Robertson's problem has never been lack of effort. It's been a combination of tunnel vision, over-handling and mishandling of the puck, spending too much time not on his skates...he tries to be physical which I give him a lot of credit for, and sometimes he succeeds in winning a puck battle or knocking an opponent down. But too often he just bounces off bigger players or gets easily pushed aside. Not sure there is a lot he can do about that, his size is what it is.

I still think he could be a regular 20-30 goal scorer (maybe even peaking around 35) on a rebuilding team where he could play top line minutes, first PP...I made a flippant comment the other day about waiving him but the Leafs really can't do that, he's still a worthwhile asset who could be particularly valuable if injuries mount. But at some point I think he deserves a chance to go elsewhere and chart a new path.
