Sheldon Keefe Reveals Plans For Nick Robertson
Nicholas Robertson hasn't played or skated since December 8th.
The Californian was injured during a game between the Los Angeles Kings and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
Kings defenseman Matt Roy dealt a crushing blow to the young winger, causing him to crash hard into the end boards and injure his right shoulder.
Initially, the Leafs and Nicholas Robertson opted for extensive rehab, hoping for a return within 6-8 weeks.
Unfortunately, the rehab was unsuccessful, and Robertson underwent season-ending surgery on January 16th. This week, just two months after surgery, Robertson returned to the ice - a sight that pleased Sheldon Keefe.

Sheldon Keefe was obviously happy with how things are going for Nicholas Robertson.
Prior to his injury, Nicholas Robertson accumulated 5 points in his 15 games with the Leafs.
He will play a significant role next season, as the Leafs will rely on players with league-minimum or near league-minimum contracts to fill the gaps created by players who may no longer fit within Toronto's budget.
