More rough stuff in NHL pre-season action, while the Toronto Maple Leafs have looked into an extension for one of its top young players. Mike DiStefano and David Morassutti give their thoughts on the rough stuff between the Montreal Canadiens and Ottawa Senators, following Arber Xhekaj’s hit on Tim Stutzle and the debate around how the pre-season is seeing a lot of rough play and injuries to key players. Mike and Dave move on to the report from Elliotte Friedman that the Leafs have explored a contract extension with Matthew Knies and how the front office views it as an important building block for the future but what is the right contract for both sides? Mike and Dave then move on to the news from the NHL Board of Governors looking into potentially shortening the pre-season and the salary cap projection.

Lock him up now cause he's 22 and won't be breaking the bank. Ps Habs fans are so hypocritical.
Knies is a playoff performer.
Knies is a 3rd liner he's playing with Matthews and Marner and only scored 15 he's worth 3 .5 mill
6 years 4-5 million a year
Take away stutzles stick and you'll find Wi-Fi's shoulder would have directly smacked his chin. Not only would it have struck his chin, but wifi came in and directly tried to injure by throwing the shoulder and chicken winging the elbow at the last second.
It's one thing to come in and get low and smack in the chest area and the other player was just skating with his head low. It's another thing entirely to skate up to him with his knees stiff and throwing out the elbow and shoulder at the last second.
We need to stop overpaying our players. You guys talk about them too much, making them feel bigger than they are. Knies is where he is because of Auston Matthews, and deserves no more than what Domi's getting. Roberston's only getting 875k, and you think Knies is worth 6mil?
This is the problem, everyone comes up with stupid numbers for contracts. Toronto can’t do anything with what they have now in contracts and players and it keeps getting bigger. That why we lose good or great players is the contracts .
The one thing I'll say about the knies situation is what does knies think about all of this? Your entire discussion was about how the leafs should sign him early so his cap hit is down, but what if knies doesn't want to do that?
I just have a feeling he will wait until mid season or end of season
Are you guy's so broke that half your podcasts are advertising
Wow what a poke dam
