The Leafs have three meaningless games left, so maybe Knies gets in two. But at this time, their is no reason to think Knies is better than any other winger on the roster.

I’d take kerfoot out but Keefe won’t do that so you might be right

Caufield did it, doesn't mean Knies can't

Not sure if that’s totally true though. I think if he can find a way to translate his defensive impact to the NHL, he might serve well as a bottom six checker. He could honestly be just a more skilled version of ZAR, which would be fine.

Knies will pull a Abruzzesse (2022 season) and play a limited role.

Than watch the playoffs from the press box.

When the roster player amount can increase for the playoffs and no cap limit, Simmonds will get into playoff action before Knies.

Whaddya mean "meaningless"? They have to give Jett Alexander some playing time.

Hi bud. How to my avatar picture? It's a black and white of me in February 1961 in my back yard rink.
Nice the Jett got in some NHL action.

Unbelievably cool!

My baby sister sent some pictures which I don't ever remember seeing. You can always tell old pictures, black and white. Plus when you see old school pictures, you can always date by the number of white kids in the pictures. Used to 100%.....and with immigration policies in the past 50 years, it sure has changed especially in a place like Toronto.

Well he will start off replacing Jarnkrock who's day to day and then it will depend on what he does. ZAR likely is the easiest guy to pass but maybe Kerfoot isn't as safe as many think. I bet Knies plays as the next man up if injury strikes but doesn't crack the game 1 playoffs lineup. If he does, it's because he explodes immediately and then that's just awesome.

Keefe and Kerfoot have some sort of personnel relationship. ZAR is definitely built for playoff hockey and is needed in the bottom 6. Kerfoot is a overpaid non-impact player that does nothing specific that helps the team.
