Björklöven has added Tristen Robins to its roster ahead of the upcoming season. The 24-year-old forward joins from Kladno in the Czech league.
Björklöven announced the signing of the British-Canadian forward on Monday. Robins, a right-shot offensive player, recorded 35 points in 45 games during his first season in Europe with Kladno. He previously played in the AHL and appeared in three NHL games with the San Jose Sharks after being drafted in the second round in 2020.
Initial reactions on X include neutral announcements from journalists, statistical details on Robins' performance in Czechia, and skeptical fan comments questioning his fit and production potential in SHL.
Björklöven har även gjort klart med Tristen Robins som hämtas in från Kladno i Tjeckien. Officiellt precis.

Tristen Robins hade man jublat om Björklöven spelade i HA. Nu känns det lite som en gamble ifall han kommer ta en plats som offensiv producent. Bra ålder, där potential för utv finns.

Jag är mer bekymrad över att man ska gå på Lehtinen än om Tristen flyger eller inte.
Det är nog tur att jag inte är sportchef men Tristan Robins får mig att känna, jaha men och? #björklöven#shl
