Matthew Knies

22-Year-Old Left WingLW
Toronto Maple Leafs
2024 Fantasy Outlook
Knies' 2023-24 rookie season was a mixed bag, as he displayed some promise while dealing with consistency issues. Those problems are commonplace for first-year players, but Knies still had a productive introduction to the NHL, generating 15 goals, 35 points, 115 shots on net and 169 hits while averaging 13:41 of ice time per contest. He played up and down the lineup but logged most of his minutes in the top six. Knies will likely see more action alongside Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner in 2024-25 following the departure of Tyler Bertuzzi in free agency. The 21-year-old Knies needs more ice time, especially on the power-play, but he will likely progress in the final year of his entry-level contract. He should exceed 40 points in the 2024-25 season and could inch close to the 50-point mark if he can consistently contribute on one of Toronto's top two lines. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Maple Leafs in April of 2023.
Five goals in last six games
LWToronto Maple Leafs
October 31, 2024
Knies scored a goal Thursday in a 4-1 win over Seattle.
ANALYSIS
It was an easy tap-in from the slot on a touch pass from Mitch Marner. Knies has goals in three straight games and five in his past six games. His 22.2 shooting percentage is high, so expect a slow down. However, Knies is in a prime spot with Marner and Auston Matthews, so the power winger is going to score. Keep him rolling.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
The top prospect in the Toronto system, Knies signed with the Leafs following the completion of his sophomore season (21 goals, 42 points in 40 games) at the University of Minnesota. He had one assist in three appearances for Toronto late in the year and played well in seven playoff games (one goal, four points) before a concussion ended his season. The Leafs added Tyler Bertuzzi and Max Domi in free agency this offseason, but the club is still expected to find a spot for Knies in their top-nine come training camp.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Paper transaction on horizon?
LWToronto Maple Leafs
March 8, 2024
Knies, who's dealing with an undisclosed injury, may be assigned to AHL Toronto in a paper transaction Friday in order to provide the Maple Leafs with additional roster flexibility down the stretch, Chris Johnston of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Although Knies may technically be demoted to the minors Friday, it's safe to assume he'll be back with the big club ahead of Saturday's game versus Montreal. He's picked up 26 points and 127 hits through 61 games with the Leafs this year.
