Sucks to cheer against him but I completely agree.

Want him to get as many games as possible to get him comfortable.

UofM hasn't won a championship in 20 years. Would be great to see Knies win the trophy and bring that energy to the Leafs!

I don't think a few extra regular season games wearing a Leafs jersey are going to make any difference to his comfortability. (see Kreider, Chris)

They're at 50 contracts right? I don't think they can even have him join without releasing somebody.

Hopefully Knies and the Gophers lose Saturday.

Get the kid in a Leafs jersey lets see what he's got.

- Santo_44

Nah, let him play out his games there, rest and maybe get a game or two if they can fit him in.
No rush

Silver lining: this douche went undrafted and will never get a sniff at the NHL.

I think he's exempt from the 50 contract limit, or am I wrong?

More regular season games=better for Knies

Pretty obvious. I know some are mad people think he has a chance to play this post season but there is a chance obviously.

Ruby thinks so too it seems

You're probably right. These contract things are so muddled.

- AdamFrench

Total NHL contracts per team = 50 (including two-way contracts and NHL contracts in the minors), players who meet the following three conditions do not count to this limit: 1. The player is 18 or 19 years of age. 2. Is in a junior or European league, and 3. who have not played 11 NHL games the current season.

https://www.capfriendly.com/faq#maximum_contracts

Hard to keep track of all of these weird loopholes. I think he meets #2 and obviously #3... not sure about #1 unless it counts from the beginning of the season?

Edit: Gigs pointed out below that they're at 49 contracts so none of the above matters. (and I don't think he meets #1 anyway)

Frustrating player that might help generate wins in a full 82 game season but is completely disengaged for a lot of the games.

He is collecting pay with his talent, good for him but bad for a team that wants to win it all.

I know he wants to win.

But (frank) the Gophers, he can win on the Leafs.

Don't care about the rest of his team, they can start golfing for all I care.

Give him a day to cry, fly him in to Mondays practice and throw him on the ice on Tuesday

Best it could look, that's for sure. Change the top 3 RD around if need be and make the best pairings you can with those guys.

Think it was said that they're at 49 contracts. They signed Tverberg to a future contract or some such.

You are correct, sir! They are at 49.

Tverberg's contract begins next season.

They’re at 49. Tverberg was signed to a PTO and won’t get a full contract till the summer. He’s eligible to play with the Marlies till then.

Mets confirm that Edwin Diaz indeed tore his patellar tendon. He will undergo surgery that likely will sideline him for the entire season.


damn, thats a tough one

I was threatened with legal action today because I asked someone if they were attempting to troll, which they admitted they were, and I was harassing them. So I quit. You people aren't worth the headaches when I just want to hang out with my kids on spring break instead of babysitting the children here.

Santo, you're a (frank)ing tool bag. You antagonize people constantly and can never admit when you're wrong. You move goal posts more than a kid on the school yard trying to cheat.

CC, you're a douchenozzle who can't stand not having the last word with the worst "jokes" I've ever seen. You and Santo deserve each other.

I had a bit written up about trolls but what's the point?

The rest of you were pretty cool.

See you in the 2nd round and AW's bbq.
