In the other Risto thread, posted this. It’s not an abnormal result this year.
Here's the game I watched. He was mediocre at best. These charts need Negative Offence based on wasted opportunities and not just QoT/QoC, I would have taken off points for the Grade A shooting opportunities the Flyers set up for him that he completely wasted.

I'm not trading Knight this year, this is his biggest audition this year to see if he's somewhat ready to play 40 or more games by start of 2025-26 season.

I'm fine with Zito trading a 2027(?) 1st + a prospect not named Samoskevich for a top 4 D but Knight looks to be rounding back into his previous potential before his leave into the PAP.

I don't want to trade him either but the fact is he won't play a game in the playoffs this year or next. That's 4.5 M in cap space parked on the bench for a team that should be all in every year and try to maximize their chance to win.

I like Connor Murphy better.

He seems pretty soft.

We don't know that, and Zito could've moved him before this season and hang onto him. I don't see him moving Knight at all. Bob is late 30s and has a year remaining. Let them push each other. Sure af wouldn't be happy moving Knight for Risto.
