"It was a banner season for Nick Robertson in 2024-25. In 69 games for the Leafs, he recorded a career-high 15 goals, along with seven assists, for 22 points. This performance came with Robertson spending most of his time on the third line and getting around 12 minutes of ice time a night. It was the third straight season of Robertson's stats improving with an increase in minutes. It appears that he's inching closer to becoming the player the Leafs expect him to be."
"The fourth line the Maple Leafs could be planning to roll out in 2025-26 is Steven Lorentz, Scott Laughton, and Calle Jarnkrok. All three of these players are solid defensive players. Lorentz and Laughton are more physical and like to use their size to contain the opposing offense. Although Jarnkrok is not as physical as the other two, his high hockey IQ allows him to make the right decision to make a defensive stop."
Nick Robertson scored a career-high 15 goals and added seven assists for 22 points in 69 games during 2024-25 while averaging about 12 minutes per night, largely on the third line. His statistics improved for a third straight season as his minutes increased, suggesting gradual development toward expected potential. Despite offensive growth, Robertson remains undersized, lacks physicality, and is only average defensively. The Maple Leafs have a deep forward group with top three lines set, and the projected fourth line of Steven Lorentz, Scott Laughton, and Calle Jarnkrok emphasizes physicality and defensive responsibility, making Robertson a questionable fit.
