Summary
Leafs GM John Chayka’s busy offseason continues as he trades goalie Joseph Woll and defenseman Emil Andrae, then locks up Darren Raddysh to an eight-year deal. Now, speculation swirls around trading star winger Matthew Knies — a move previously rumored at the deadline. Chayka says it’s “not probable,” hinting he’s leaning toward keeping Knies, who’s delivered 17 goals last year, averages over 15 points per 60 minutes, and is a key penalty killer. At just 23, his size and physicality are seen as vital against teams like Florida and Carolina. Analysts warn trading him would be a mistake — and for now, Knies looks like he’s staying put.
