He's going to be motivated to play up with the big team with his brother, I can see 20 goals from him if he's on the big team
I doubt anyone expects more than I'm happy to play 3rd line and score 25g for cheap.
11 g in 25 games on Columbus is 25 with his brother in Tor.

11 goals in 23 games? What's not to like here. If he plays well in preseason, he earns an NHL contract. Well done Tre.

As others have mentioned I wouldn't be surprised if he ends up with an NHL deal eventually this year. Leafs obviously will be frontrunners.for obvious reasons if/when that occurs
That was a good move. Treliving is making some smart signings to add depth in advance since he doesn't have any draft capital to make trades in the season.

Line 2 is getting scored on 3 times a game
No risk signing and I can see him up with the Leafs at some point, hopefully being around William can jumpstart his career
I don't think It's a pickup for the Marlies, I think they fully intend to sign him.
You look at his age, and his numbers with Columbus, they are VERY similar to the numbers that Bunting put up in Arizona the year before he went to Toronto.
Now I'm not saying he's going to come in here and put up 63 points like Bunting did because Bunting got to play with Matthews and Marner, and baring injury I think Knies is secure in that spot.
But I do wonder if a similar opportunity to the one that was given to Bunting will be presented to Alex.
I wonder if we see Nylander Tavares Nylander at some point.
Agreed, except for the Lilly contract, I HATE that contract, I'm unbelievably sick of Lilly, but even that contract is only 2 years.
Beyond that Brad is doing a great job.
and so far he's not selling the future to do it, he's had 2 1sts he's kept them both.

I very much doubt we will see him on the Leafs at all. This guy's experience is nothing like Bunting's rise to the NHL. He has failed with every team he has been with. A short burst of goals with Columbus likely doesn't mean much. He is closer to Ho Sang than he is to Bunting.

When the rumor started a couple of people on this here board had him playing with William and Matthews on the top line.

Only a 30 goal 60 point pace in the minors, never really sniffed ppg down there. 11 goals in 23 nhl games is clearly the outlier.

The upside involved should probably explain why teams have continued to come calling. Perhaps things will finally click at this stop and offer him some future stability?

0.65 ppg would have put him fifth on the Leafs last year, behind JT at 0.81 and ahead of Domi at 0.59. Coincidentally his toi per game also would have him at fifth.
Interesting no risk signing.
