Personally, I wasn't evaluating him on the one mistake, just the fact that he's inexperienced and therefore more likely to make errors. Three games isn't going to change that perception.

Besides, the roster spots should go to the guys that earned it and I can't justify benching any of the presumed starting 12 to get him in there.

I agree. I didn't watch tonight but honestly didn't need too. Knies bright future but no business playing in the playoffs right now. I would say emergency use only. It doesn't matter that he is 6'3 he will make mistakes.

This is what a scout had to say about Knies in an Athletic article about college prospects.

Scouting the Frozen Four: What top NCAA prospects say about each other's NHL potential

The Athletic asked the Frozen Four’s top NHL prospects for scouting reports on their peers.

Scout: He’s going to be a solid pro. Big, strong, drives the net hard. Honestly, I like Cooley and Snuggerud, but Knies drove that line, for all the grunt work he did in the corners, behind the net, getting Cooley the puck so he could do his magic and Snuggerud could show off his shot. He’s got good feet, he can see the open ice, and he can jump in, which created his opportunities. When he jumps into Toronto, he’ll make an impact.

We saw him jump in tonight and create that goal by O’Reilly.

Jarnkrok - Matthews - Marner
Knies - O'Reilly - Nylander
Accarai - Tavaras - Robertson
ZAR - Kampf/Holmberg -Lafferty


Great look on paper next season if DUBAS can make that work (use bunting and kerfoot cap on keeping O'Reilly and Accarai.

I 100% believe we should sign Luke Schenn to a 2yr x 1m contract, if he'll take it.

Looked pretty good last night. Some really nice plays and speed was good. Probably scores 9/10 on the ROR tap in, knows where to go and not afraid to do it. Only 2 games in and he’s impressed. He’s taken a few NHL hits and bounced right up. Even if he doesn’t start game 1 of the series, he’ll find his way in with injuries or someone’s bad play. ZAR, Lafferty, need to keep playing well to avoid being scratched for Knies. If that last game against Tampa was any indication there may be a few injuries in this series.
