Considering Keefe started playing him some with our biggest stars and had him on the ice in the last minute, there's no reason to think he's coming out of the lineup any time soon.
Kerfoot has been an absolute non-factor this series.
Sit him for Bunting when he comes back.

No way should Knies be out of the lineup.

Maybe switch Bunting with Knies. Bunting on the 3rd line would be more effective I think.

Mercer had 42 in 82 with minimal pp time while moving up and down throughout the line up his rookie year.
I think Knies is fully capable of that right now. Anything more is a bonus.

Just beginning. Kid was really impressive under playoff pressure. Bennett better be answering for that sleazy takedown all season long.

Mercer did that in his D+2 vs Knies who will be in his D+3 and likely has better linemates and more PP time
Think he breaks 50+ pts this year. 55 is my bet

IMO, not if he isn't on either of the top 2 lines.
As of now I see our top 6 without Knies with Domi and Bertuzzi playing ahead of him.

I definitely think hes capable of more, but if he puts up at least 0.5ppg while not receiving much PP time and providing good defence I don't think anyone could complain with that type of rookie season.
Love how he got a taste of playoff hockey to finish off the year. Unfortunate how his season ended but regardless is a massive boost in his development knowing what to expect at the NHL level.

He's a lock for the lineup game 1. I think 45ish points could be a good number. A big favor will be usage - which at the moment is an unknown. Keefe may opt to play him on the third line to spread out some depth

At a quick glance I thought I saw: "Leafs sign Matthew(s)..." Imagine the disappointment.
He is healthy. He was on a podcast a few weeks ago. He’s already been skating with Matthews in Arizona.
As they should for now.
I don't want to see him rushed into the top 6, let the kid get some experience on the 3rd line with Jarnkrok, besides it's not like Jarnkrok is an offensive black hole, the guy scored 20 goals last year, I don't see any reason Knies can't do the same even if he were on the 3rd line all year, I don't think he's going to be though.
20-20 40 points seems realistic even on the 3rd line.
