## Resource

Matthew Knies, Toronto’s rising power forward, showed flashes of brilliance with 58 points last season—but injuries and a nagging lower-body issue held him back, leading to a disappointing stat line and the team’s worst plus-minus. Despite expectations for a breakout after Mitch Marner’s departure, Knies’ advanced metrics dipped, though he remained a key power-play contributor. With health as the biggest variable, the Leafs are banking on him becoming their next offensive cornerstone—or at least a vital supporting piece. Trading him would make little sense in a rebuild; keeping him is the smart, future-focused move. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
