During an interview with the media, Matthews opened up about Knies joining the team.
«Been a pretty big prospect for us for a couple years now so it will be fun to see what he's all about," Matthews said. "It's going to be fun to get to know him a little bit better and see him in this atmosphere.»
"He's a mature kid. Obviously he's a big boy and I'm sure he can handle his own," he continued. "I'm sure he's excited even though it was a tough loss the other night." - Auston Matthews

Knies' season ended on Saturday night when the Quinnipiac beat Minnesota in overtime in a championship game. He managed to score 42 points in 40 games played with the University of Minnesota Golden Gophers this season.
At this time, it's unclear when Knies will make his debut, but an official announcement is expected soon.
