LW Matthew Knies - Tri-City Storm, USHL (2021, 57th, TOR)

[57special]

Still can't believe Knies didn't get invited to the 2018 NTDP Evaluation Camp, much less make the team. That 2002 US birthyear is pretty bad/mid outside of Sanderson, Beniers, Faber. Could be because he played minor hockey under the radar in Arizona, or he was later blooming as a late 2002 birthday,

Was kind of confused by your post till i realized that you were talking about an event held in March, 2018, when Knies was 15 yo, and playing for the Phoenix Jr. Coyotes 15AAA/16 team. He played three more years of AAA/USHL after that before he started playing for the Gophers. Who knows what he was like way back then?

Looks like they found a gem at 57th.

Just wonder if he bloomed later and had no hype machine behind him because he was playing minor hockey in Arizona
