Scout’s Evaluation: What Matthew Knies provides to the Leafs this season and past

After months of hypothesis the Toronto Maple Leafs have signed their prime prospect, Matthew Knies, to his entry-level contract. My media buddies will present their very own perception into Knies and what his arrival means to the Leafs with the playoffs on the horizon. My position right here at Sportsnet is to supply our readers with an NHL scouting perspective on groups and gamers.

Knies was drafted by the Leafs within the second spherical (57^th general) in 2021. Former Leafs Director of Newbie Scouting, John Lilley, (now the New York Rangers Director of Participant Personnel and Newbie Scouting) and his workers made the decision to draft Knies. There are occasions when a draft decide offers worth above his draft slot and Knies is an instance of a participant who can be drafted a lot increased immediately in a re-draft state of affairs than he was in 2021.

With that in thoughts, right here is my up-to-date scouting report on Matthew Knies, who was a Hobey Baker (given to the highest participant in NCAA males’s hockey) finalist, and winner of the Huge Ten Participant of the 12 months Award.

SCOUTING PROFILE

Knies is an enormous physique ahead who impacts the sport offensively and performs a accountable 200-foot recreation. His statistics converse to his id.

A few issues that stand out for me on his profile card:

• He’s bought good NHL measurement: He’s 6-foot-3, 210 kilos

• 12 months over yr level manufacturing has improved marginally

• Penalty minute totals converse to his self-discipline – and he’s remained fixed

• Plus/minus greater than doubled in a optimistic route

KNIES’ ‘ELEMENT’

NHL prospects want to supply scouts with a component(s) that stands out in comparison with their friends. Some gamers are simply described in sure classes. Mitch Marner, for instance, was all the time recognized as a top-six, scoring, ability ahead who performed a lightweight recreation bodily.

Knies is an enormous physique, energy winger, who has added an additional tempo to his recreation this season. He’s faster to open area and tracks up and down the ice effectively. The vast majority of his offence comes from between the hash marks and across the crease within the offensive zone.

He’s the type of participant who can take in contact from opponents whereas extending performs alongside the boards. When he isn’t producing offence, Knies’ energy recreation and three zone element contributes to his group success. This season he proved he can present the mandatory compete and consciousness for use on the penalty kill.

VIDEO SCOUTING EXAMPLES

As I described earlier, Knies has added extra explosiveness and open ice tempo to his recreation. They’re each necessary enhancements.

Within the following clip Knies (No. 89 on Minnesota) receives a go within the impartial zone, explodes out of the gate, will get the sting on the zone entry, and drives to the web for a tuck:

Penalty killing takes a substantial amount of dedication and compete. Within the subsequent clip Knies scores a short-handed purpose in a recreation versus Notre Dame. Breaking down the sequence, we see Knies observe again, strain his opponent, create a turnover, after which explode up ice to attain off the frenzy:

Brief-handed targets are a usually uncommon incidence at any degree. With that in thoughts, here’s a clip that exhibits Knies offering power on the penalty kill. His group wins the face-off after which he tracks up ice to get a sneaky shot on purpose, then tracks all the best way again to his zone the place he picks up a free puck and sends it the complete size of the ice. The sequence disrupts St.Cloud’s power-play for over 35 seconds:

Lastly, here’s a pattern of Knies offering a center drive, energy play purpose off the frenzy. When he will get the puck in movement, he has nice puck contact by means of the slot and driving to the web. Gamers his measurement are tough to defend when they’re taking part in quick and monitoring by means of the center of the ice:
