<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>Knies is a high end prospect everyone says so. While I don't know how good he'll be, his ceiling is extremely high which is why everyone wants him, and why Dubas doesn't want to give him up. But let's just pretend he's a B prospect so you can get him for nothing eh?</div></div>

I never said he was any kind of throw in prospect at all. I in fact said he has value and rated him as a B+ prospect which is a quite high rating for a guy that hasn’t signed with the team yet and was a second round pick in his draft year.

He has zero pedigree to call him a can’t miss (or A level prospect) he hasn’t played any pro style hockey at this point so it is hard to tell what he will be when the competition level changes, and it is that unknown quantity that means he doesn’t have A level value. Sure any team would like to have a guy that has upside and top 6 power forward potential. But to assume he would carry the value of an A/A+ prospect (reserved for guys who are top 10 picks generally and are seen as imminently entering the league with immediate potential star status) is a major reach is what I am saying.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>RipNasty</b></div><div>You are either one of those "everything tied to the leafs is crap" people or just ill informed. Knies is very much a top prospect. Everyone says so. So no, ROR is not getting Knies and Barbashev isn't worth more than a 2nd.</div></div>

I am neither ill informed or a Leafs pessimist. Knies while a good prospect with high upside, at this point without any real prove it moments remains a B+ prospect which makes him a top prospect, but not the kind of A+ prospect that has unmatched trade value. So in this case he is not going to get 2 guys on his own with impact potential even if both are having down years.

However if they do move him which I am sure is not high on the teams list I am in agreement that it will be in a different kind of trade. One that brings in a player with Term that is a much bigger impact overall both this playoff push and next season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>MitchJr</b></div><div>First, every team is going to ask for $3.75M in retention. Can’t think of any team that can afford him at full cap hit.
He may get a first (&amp; his track record deserves it) but he’s had such a bad year, I doubt it. s you say - could be a buyer’s market.
Could he just re-sign there instead?</div></div>

When I say buyers market I am talking about trade deadline buyers market. There are a pile of pending UFAs that are said to be available and with that many impact players on the market the price will potentially be much lower than in past years. So it could drive the price down, but in the case of a guy like ROR who is playoff experienced and still an elite level shut down Center he likely draws a first regardless when you take retention into consideration.
