You sure about that? Friedman already reported that every trade that the Leafs were in, everyone was calling in on Knies. When the Leafs were interested in Hampus Lindholm, Ducks wanted Knies. When the Leafs were interested in Hagel, Hawks wanted Knies
If you think Lindholm (MAYBE Hagel) would have been traded 1 for 1 for Knies, you would be sorely mistaken. Because he is the best prospect available and the Leafs don't have many, of course he was included in the ask as part of the package. Knies is a A- prospect, robertson is generally rated the same or even slightly higher. Top 50 prospects, as Pronman and Wheeler both identified, are A to A+ prospects....Leafs have none. So yes, if the Leafs want a high value player on the market, they have to give up their best prospects as part of the package....that has nothing to do with untouchable likely. We are talking Knies, not Owen Power, Beniers, Perfetti, Cooley, Kent johnson, etc. Let's put it in perspective.
