Nick Robertson is the only player at Maple Leafs development camp with NHL experience and, as Kristen Shilton writes, he hopes to earn a Toronto roster spot by recapturing the dominance he felt carving up the OHL before COVID-19 and injuries tossed a little adversity his way.

Maple Leafs’ senior director of player development Hayley Wickenheiser has had to be mindful of the impact that COVID-19 related shutdowns have had on the 39 young players participating in Toronto’s annual rookie session. The focus during the next few days, Kristen Shilton writes, will be on “a little less thinking, and a little more playing and competing” so team staff can assess where each player is at in terms of their “full package” of skills.

On Tuesday, Travis Yost began a position-by-position preview of the seven Canadian clubs, grading out the centre position for every team. Today, he focuses on the defencemen.
