That's some pretty good lake effect they've got going there.

[Bender]

They're a decent looking team on paper. Doesn't help they always get up to play us.

The handling of Robertson is getting embarrassing at this point.

Send him to the Marlies if you're not going to use him here. He needs to play.

I just won tickets to this one!  Should be a fun one - Leafs are 3-1 when I see them play the Sabres, but the 1 loss is the 5-1 romp at home last year.

I agree or send him off in a deal to either help the backend or improve our forward lines. Bottom 6 sucks in my opinion this year.  Problem is Keefe is so high on guys like Engvall, ZAR etc. Keefe says it's up to others to lose their spot for Nick to get in. WTF has the bottom 6 done to keep themselves in the lineup? Malgin has played ok, Kampf does a lot but the rest are crap. I think what we see in Nick is what we are going to get but too erratic for a kid trying to impress. Had 1 good game and totally quiet since. Can argue if he's been given a chance but after 3 years I haven't seen any difference but leaving him in the press box isn't accomplishing anything.

No to trading him. He's has 5 pts in 9 games with very limited ice. Way too early to be pulling the chute on him.

GO LEAFS GO!

If I knew how to bet, this is a game Leafs will fare poorly.

He also has flaws that make his value limited in a trade.  He COULD be a really good player but he's a small player with only ok defensive play.   At this point unless he's part of a larger package Robertson isn't really a guy I would be trading
