Matthew Knies

[LeafEgo]

Makes sense to me, I figured the ask for a two-way risk deal would be a bit more than the mid way point between downside and upside, which I pegged at 4.5M to 9.5M.

Given we are salvaging a mess job with this era, it might make sense to bridge Knies through the Matty contract and leverage the near term. Something like 4 years at 5M sans NMC.

3 years - 12 million is good for both sides. Maybe Knies doesnt want to play here , the culture is toxic around this club, all they do is underachieve and make excuses.

Love this kids compete and physicality. Really hope playing with Matthews and Marner doesn’t rub off on him and he tries to be more flashy than a true powerforward.

This and it’s still a gamble for the player. If I were Knies I would have negotiated before the season. If he fails to pot 20 or gets hurt he’ll be worth a little less than what he was in September.

Now the focus has to be an 8 year deal for Knies. None of this 4 or 6 year stuff.

Don’t forget the NMC

Haha since he’s an RFA he’s only eligible for NMC during UFA years of the contract

He doesn’t have the hands to be flashy.
