Fantasy Summary

While on the NHL roster at the moment, it is purely to burn a year of his entry level deal. With the potential of becoming a starter in the NHL down the line, he will likely need development with Iowa for at least next season.

March 2019 – The former University of Minnesota goaltender recently signed a two-year entry level deal with the Minnesota Wild. While Robson is going to stay on the Wild roster for the remainder of the regular season, he is unlikely to get any playing time. The NHL roster spot is purely to burn a year of the entry level contract making him an RFA after next season. An impressive NCAA career with the Golden Gophers was able to create a market for the top college free agent goalie. Robson plays a mature game for a goaltender of his age. He does a good job of looking past screens and has the athleticism to work around a player blocking his view. He does a decent job controlling his rebounds but angling them to the corners will be a tool he works on through his development. Where Robson really excels is in the ability to cut down an angle without coming too far out of the net and getting lost. Likely to be splitting starts in Iowa in the 2019-2020 season, Robson’s mature game should translate well to the pro game and accelerate his way up the developmental ladder. Paired with Kaapo Kähkönen there will be a healthy competition for the Wild’s goaltender of the future. Tony Ferrari
