Absolute puck hound. So hard on pucks and on the forecheck. Kids a player.

Throwing Confetti for Perfetti
This is a horribly put together sentence . Whatever you were trying to do, you whiffed hard …
Well, he’s listed at 234 lbs. How much more weight does he need?

He's 234?
Man he doesn't look like it, I figured he was closer to 200 on the dot. ROR is apparently only 200 but looks much wider and stronger out there.
Knies will get stronger, but he is a very big boy. I’ve seen him in person.

Where does 234 come from , I checked 6 sites, and he is listed as 209-210, and that includes the University of Minnesota.

Are you seriously asking if a 19-year old is still considered a prospect?

We're throwing the stones, that's the luxury of making the playoffs. Best of luck in the lottery (again), though. Might be a good time to move on to a Habs prospect thread.

We don’t care. This thread is for Matthew Knies.
Great game yesterday, too bad that puck didn’t trickle across the line for him!

Definitely. Getting #1 against Vasi would be a hell of a cool thing.

could be wrong. The Gopher's website is often out of date, as are many others, though, listing their weights when they were drafted, or earlier. Know a few kids who were on the Gophs pretty well.
Bottom line is that Knies is pretty hefty, though he will get stronger as he matures. Strength is not a problem now, and will be even less so in the future. Where he can really help himself is to keep working on his skating, and skills.

I would say of all 7 sites, Wiki should probably be the least trusted one.Matthew Knies - Wikipedia

He certainly doesn’t look the same size as OV.

Technically not per Corey Pronman's rules, which are that a player ceases to be a "prospect" if they have played 25 NHL games in a single season (regular season + playoffs), 50 NHL games total or are 25 years old by September 15th. It's a bit semantics, like you'd say McDavid wasn't a prospect after his rookie year, but a raw player like Slaf feels much more like a "prospect" still

Too bad his rookie year will coincide with some insane talent, won't get a real shot at the Calder.
Gopher website is more accurate than Wikipedia lolMatthew Knies - Wikipedia

Love what I've seen from him so far in the two games. A lot to be excited about. I don't expect him to be in the Game 1 lineup for the playoffs but I imagine he'll be in the lineup at some point.

234 seems like a midsummer weight lol... But make no mistake the dude is built like a tree stump.

Looked pretty good against two quality teams playing hard. Still lots to learn at the pro level obviously but he’ll learn quick if he’s a regular on the playoff roster.

This . I figured around 220 . 234 seems very heavy . How many guys are that weight in the nhl ? 20? 30 ? ( honestly have no clue just throwing a dart to maybe get context ). Solid first 2 games ( apart from 1 noticeable blip ) .
