It is extremely unusual for a North American player going through the CHL route to take five years to make his big-league debut and make it, but that will be merely a footnote if Robertson can make…
He first stepped onto the ice wearing Rangers regalia at the club’s 2019 development camp conducted at Chelsea Piers in Stamford while the Tarrytown training facility was undergoing a renovation.
Not all players adhere to the same timetable. Robertson has played 190 AHL games. The Islanders’ Scott Mayfield played 223 games in the AHL while his teammate, Ryan Pulock, played 163 games with Bridgeport. It took until age 26 for Taylor Fritz to reach his first Grand Slam final at the U.S. Open. “I’m just staying dialed in each day, each practice, each rep, building my confidence each day, as well. I started working with a mental coach a bit. I’m looking forward to how it pans out this year.”Robert Sabo for NY Post
“I’m just trying to come in and play the best version of myself,” Robertson said. “I’m not worried about other guys right now. “Honestly, I wasn’t too sure at the end of the year,” Robertson said. “I didn’t know, but I also didn’t really think too much about it, but then they reached out to my agent and went from there.”
Chad Ruhwedel, the righty acquired at the deadline from Pittsburgh who got into five games with the Blueshirts, probably has a leg up for the seventh spot but I don’t think the hierarchy would be upset if Robertson could challenge for the spot.
