If they can lock Knies up at $5M long term that would be a really good contract. The problem with the Leafs in the past, especially under Dubas, is that they waited until the player was at the maximum value before signing the player, and this cost them a lot of money in the long run. If they can lock him up for 5+ years that would be great, and would correspond with Matthews and Nylander's contracts.
They MUST LOCK HIM UP NOW … 5 yr. Minimum contract… he will turn into a BEAST ….
My favorite Leaf future Captain
Extended while he's cheaper
6'3" guys 223 now and will get bigger
Give that guy an 8 year contract please
Sign him up!!!!!!!1
The leafs can't fk around with Knies. Sign him longterm asap.
I’d be careful with him. Nothing too long or too expensive. He won’t do good on the first line. After the first 15 games he’ll be playing on the second line. I’d give him 5×4.
Knies ain’t signing for 8, not even 6. He’s not an idiot. He’ll sign a bridge deal.
Sign him before you put him on top PP and he gets 15 more points automatically
If Pierre Engvall gets a long term deal, Kniesy has to!!!
2D nails it … save some cash, sign him now and get some term. Nothing but upside for MK.
Next Cap for sure!
Sign him please!
This guy is solid…skilled and tough….Love his Gordie Howe hat trick…
5 years 3 750 000 aav lock him up now.
Last time we had talent like that walk well …. hyman anyone
No one talks about how much better he looks 3rd line ,1st line not ready.
He a must extend player in my opinion, I don't even think we've seen anywhere near what this kid is going to be in the NHL! Lock him up now while he's still cheap, cause like you both said, if we wait he will become very costly!
In my opinion 5-6 yrs @ 5-5.5 would be great for both sides
This guy is a must and is just hitting his stride. A no brainer to not sign him. But that said this leaf management is the model for a no brainer.
I say 6 years, 4.5m per year.
15 goals I would say 2.5 million 3 years.
