The Toronto Maple Leafs have high expectations in 2023-24, and after a solid start to the year, they've now given their prospect with the highest expectations a major, well deserved opportunity.
After three games in the bottom six, the Leafs have now revealed a killer second line at practice, and it's one that could arguably be the best second line in the entire NHL with time.
It's going to take some time for Knies to gel with William Nylander and John Tavares, but after the promise he's shown thus far, that shouldn't be a problem, and if that's the case, there's few teams in the East that can truly slow down Toronto now.
