Knies vs Amirov vs Robertson

[123offtheglass]

I'd personally say:
1. Robertson
2. Niemela
3. Knies
4. Amirov

Injuries have really kept Robertson away from the NHL but once he manages to stay healthy I think he'll be impactful in the NHL sometime this season; could be the skilled playoff depth we forgot they had.

 

[Funk21]

Nice to see Robertson get back on track with the Marlies. Hopefully he continues where he left off and we have another weapon come playoff time.

Niemela
Knies
Robertson
Amirov

Not a huge gap between the 4 but a huge gap down to whomever would be 5th

 

[Ashdown2]

1. knies
2. robertson
3. amirov

 

[Byron Bitz]

Can any of them play RW or are they all LWs?

 

[Apotheosis]

Robertson's pro career is riddled with injury but he's still managed to put up 7 goals, 20 points in 25 AHL games so far, mostly as a 19-year-old.

Still feels like too many are sleeping on this guy.

Dude stylistically reminds me so much of Marchand as well. It's a good problem to have though. Three potentially high end winger prospects on a team that already has Matthews, Marner, Tavares and Nylander is scintillating to say the least.

The GWG from last night.

What a crazy release and snipe.

I can live with a prospect pool that has these three players in it. Though I suspect one will be moved by he TDL. For me it would be Amirov, his draft position perhaps getting the biggest bang for the buck, but also because Robertson’s shot is ‘oh my goodness’ good, and Knies might be the Power forward I’ve hoped to see wear blue and white for a long time.

 

[Phion Keneuf]

Knies has such a unique blend of size and skill. I have to vote for him. But wouldn’t be surprised if any of the others end up the best

 

[cupcrazyman]

Rodion Amirov may join the Maple Leafs sooner than expected

 

[JT AM da real deal]

3 wingers .. we need to draft a C to replace JT in 2022 draft .. lets take one from da O .. wingers do not move da needle in a significant way

Knies likely plays with Marner and Matthews. If even one of Robertson or Amirov hit their ceiling, they could easily carry an average 2C to good numbers as top line wingers.

 

[Holls Blackmail]

His career has been completely derailed by injuries. Kinda like Ian Scott.

That and when he’s healthy, he falls down more than a guy who had a 6 pack at midnight shinny.

u think a C capable of replacing JT will be available when we draft lmao

 

[KillerMillerTime]

...and per Ken Campbell, another Leaf prospect possibly joining the team??

>>>
Two more players I've been told were added to US Olympic team are Toronto prospect Nick Abruzesse and Montreal prospect Sean Farrell, Harvard's top two scorers this season. USA is going super young and will be tons of fun to watch. Miracle on Ice all over again?

Miracle on Ice? There is no team close to even the
1980 Czech Team in'22, never mind USSR. Literally
would be a mild upset for US to win Gold.

No need that's when McDavid comes back.

 

[JT AM da real deal]

Yes it happens every draft .. we need to find a Point type C who is FAST and gets into dirty areas .. sometimes you can even get them in 3rd round .. this draft Owen Beck is available in O and he is super fast and sticks his nose into da dirty areas .. he will play in league inside 2 years after 1 more year in O and at least part of 1st year in A .. I hope we don't miss him .. and he may go before we draft which will suck but who knows too many scouts have him way too low which can help us out

 

[JT AM da real deal]

Knies likely plays with Marner and Matthews. If even one of Robertson or Amirov hit their ceiling, they could easily carry an average 2C to good numbers as top line wingers.

Da chances of either Robertson or Amirov playing in show are still fairly low .. Knies should make it in a couple years .. but none of those guys are HUGE needle movers and we can't survive with slow JT more than 2 more years (as I said he is expected to move to wing either next year or following year)

Makes more sense to almost trade your first if it's for term and not a rental.

FWIW Kadri had the same problem over the first couple of seasons - he would just drop at the first sign of contact.

What exactly are you basing this on? Amirov would skate circles around Knies right now

MCDavid is signing the Spezza special to replace JT. Then the fans here will
complain about his lack of 200ft game.

yes? Lots of good young centers in recent memory have gone in the late teen's/20's.

LOL, no he wouldn't. Amirov is your typical boom or bust prospect. If you dive deep, he had one amazing year, his U18 year was one of the best in his age group. The way he was scoring and playing was unlike anyone else. But outside of that Amirov, has been average. He's been nothing spectacular outside of that U18 year.

It would make the most sense to trade Amirov because he likely has the most value based on his draft position. But IMO he also has the highest bust potential out of the 3 as well.

Robertson has already played....
