It was reported by multiple Quebec outlets earlier this week that 21-year-old Robert, who was Samuel Poulin’s center in the QMJHL, would be signing an AHL contract with the Penguins. Here’s our story on Robert from Wednesday. Robert, 5-foot-8 and 180 pounds, finished No. 4 in QMJHL scoring this season with 36 goals and 56 assists in just 46 games, having missed some time during the year with mononucleosis. He was one of only two QMJHL players to average at least two points per game, with the other being projected No. 1 pick Alexis Lafreniere.
The signings bring the total number of forwards signed to AHL contracts with Wilkes-Barre for next season to five.
