He was as surprise addition to the Leafs' rookie tournament roster, but Nick Robertson has arrived at the Leafs' practice facility in Etobicoke and joined the rest of the 27-man roster for a practice before the team heads to Michigan. Beginning on Thursday, the Leafs will take part in the annual Traverse City Prospect Tournament.

As noted, Robertson was a surprise addition to the team given that he has played 20 NHL games and spent plenty of time in the AHL with the Marlies as well. However, given the injury issues he has faced the past few seasons, it was a smart move by the Leafs to give the 21-year-old some runway before main camp kicks off next week.
This is almost a training camp before training camp for Robertson who is, along with the Leafs, hoping to take the next step and secure a roster spot in a crowded forward group. He has shown that when healthy, he can contribute, scoring at a 30-goal pace in the AHL last season where he skated in just 28 games.
Adding Robertson to the lineup will help the Leafs cap-wise and hopefully provide their middle-six with some offensive abilities as the Leafs have certainly made it known their fourth line and parts of their third line are there for defensive purposes.
