Matthew Knies has arrived. Hat trick night!

[HockeyVirus]

How on earth he was a 2nd round pick I will never know but I thank the hockey gods it happened. This guy established himself as the next great power forward in the league this year. Unreal.

Did some guy from Tampa steal his gf, guy HATES Tampa.

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

He is the best Matthew, better than other Matthews Toronto has.

Mark Masters just asked him post game and he said he has bad memories of that building from losing in college and it pisses him off every time he goes there lol

 

[Hunter368]

He’s been great all year, not just now. Very good young player

He’s going to be a very rich young man soon, huge raise coming

 

[Boud]

I don’t know that anyone can dislike Matthew Knies. I’m a Sens fan and I would absolutely love to have him on my team. Kid’s a gamer.

Rare breed.

 

[Big Daddy Cane]

Where was Kucherov on the OT winner?

Legit question.

 

[koyvoo]

Midway through this leaf’s playoff run, win or lose, knies is going to recognized as the undisputed heart, soul and backbone of the team.

 

[snipes]

Heck of a player.

 

[Ignatius]

Tampa fears Leafs, it's obvious...

I don’t think 2 games is enough to do that.

 

[winnipegger]

Honestly he's the best thing to happen for them in a long time. 2nd round pick that turns into a 30 goal power forward.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Knies and Holloway are the next generation power forwards.

Love watching both of them this year.

 

[koyvoo]

I don’t think 2 games is enough to do that.

It’s been clear for a lot longer than 2 games that he has a competitive edge that some of his higher profile teammates lack.
A kid like this can do a lot to inspire the rest of his team to match his compete level.

18.3 shooting % in a contract year is always a GM's worst nightmare

Top line power forward, built like a body builder. This kid is a bull.

 

[Weezeric]

Ready to give him 9M?

 

[Michoulicious]

8 x 9 millions incoming.

 

[TheImpatientBoomer]

Hopefully Brad pays him 9 million per

Treviling is dumb, but where is this coming from? No way he's dumb enough to give him anywhere close to $9M... right?

 

[Garbageyuk]

Give him Slafkovsky’s contract. They are similar in calibre.

He's available for offer sheets this summer. Rising cap, it's entirely possible.

Knies is significantly better

Agreed, it’s possible. If it’s a 8 year deal the comparable is Slaf with the Habs……that being said I like Knies better and has a higher ceiling IMO.

 

[wasup]

Yup I like him .
