Free Agent Frenzy: Which Unexpected Moves by Knies, Giroux, and Others Will Shake Up the Season?
The Toronto Maple Leafs extend Matthew Knies
Chris Johnston: The Toronto Maple Leafs have signed pending RFA forward Matthew Knies to a six-year contract with a $7.75 million.
Nick Alberga: “As mentioned the other day, the Peterka extension paved the way for this deal to get done in short order. Fair contract. Well deserved.”
Matt Larkin: “By year 3 of this deal, cap will be $113 million, and Knies’ $7.75 million AAV will be the equivalent of $6.04 million this past season. Steal.”
Here are Knies’ microstats from the 2024-25 season. Gets to the net, forechecks, hits, scores. Even if his scoring regresses from the 19% he shot this year (which would be no surprise) he should still be plenty useful and this deal doesn’t break the bank. #LeafsForever pic.twitter.com/MbQQVWX111
