Tavares Has Strong Words for Knies
Matthew Knies is definitely at the top of the Leafs' prospect pool, and fans can't wait to see him for a whole season. Back in the spring, he made quite an impression, scoring 5 points in 10 games.
John Tavares had kind words for the rookie during an interview at the Player Media Tour:
"John Tavares calls former Gopher Matthew Knies 'a huge home run for us... His potential is through the roof.'
We can't wait to see both of them on the ice!
