I'm not saying it's impossible Robinson finds a way to stick, but since this is likely his "pumped to be here" / "need to show I belong" gear, well, he basically can't afford to have lower gears.
That said, he's old enough that it wouldn't shock anyone if he already had a veteran level of consistency. Maybe he's another Derek Ryan, who was I think 29 when he entered the league.
Obviously would be a huge surprise, but you never know. Would be a nice story, and the competition on the right side isn't much.

His hands are what are going to drown him. The guy can skate and has a GAF factor this team needs. He's great on the forecheck so maybe just getting people the puck will be his saving grace.
