## Resource

Matthew Knies is heating up the trade market as five teams — Blackhawks, Canadiens, Sabres, Stars, and Blue Jackets — battle for his services. With no trade protection in his contract, Toronto holds all the leverage, but price remains the biggest hurdle. Chicago walked away after Toronto demanded the fourth pick plus a top prospect. Now, with Dallas and Columbus joining the fray, a bidding war may be brewing — and Toronto’s holding firm, waiting for a team willing to pay the premium for a young, physical, high-potential forward.
