Knies is a very unique player. For a 6″3 210-pound player, he has some insane skills and shots. He played for Minnesota this year on the same line as Logan Cooley and Jimmy Snuggerud.
Toronto fans should be very excited for this guy because he looks insane

Awesome!
good pick by the leaf he is very good
good game good game
the cooley knies combo is nasty
Wow I didn’t realize the kid was this good
When he actually plays against talent he’s horrible. Trying to deke into like 3 guys and loosing it because he doesn’t have the actual skill. Half of these dekes here are him failing but he still corrals it because the players are so bad. Did you see him in the world juniors he looked like he had low iQ. He’s overrated but for what he actually is a 2nd round pick he’ll be a decent 3rd liner. Maybe net front guy. But this guy doesn’t belong in the top 6 with guys that have iQ and playmaking ability. He should just be a net front guy on the 2nd PP and then a work horse individual guy on the 3rd line. He’s also not NHL ready at all. He will struggle hard and contemplate his decision. Because it seems like the Leads are trying to rush him
the hands are bonkers but why is he trying to dangle in some of these situations.
Bring knies in the playoffs leafs please
NCAA is kind of a joke though. It rarely ever translates to NHL. NCAA players care more about being flashy than the fundamentals, causing them to get steamrolled in the show. There's 0 hits in NCAA
hmmmm…after watching this, I can't see him playing in the playoffs this year for Leafs like many seem to be hoping for. Looks like a great prospect, but not NHL level yet, especially with what is on the line against Tampa.
look at all these people in here trying so hard to convince themselves that he isn't good, that he won't be able to transition to the NHL .. SMH i bet if he was a Pens prospect or something ya'll would be suckling at the teet
Many kids show this kind of talent and never become noticeable NHL-players. He needs to work his butt off every day in order to even make into the lineup.
For 6’3 he has hands baby
