Prospect Info: 2021 2nd Rd Pick (#57 OA) - Matthew Knies (LW) - Tri-City (USHL)

[Peasy]

I don’t think second round picks get full SB? I’m not sure though

Devi Levi, 7th round pick just got practically all the bonuses you could ask for in his elc.

 

[francis246]

heard from Friedman I believe that he would get signing bonus but we couldn’t afford performance bonuses? Not sure how this impedes on Knies signing. He looks ready to make the jump from the hand full of games/highlights I’ve seen.

Also, Koster looks really good.

I think any player would prefer a guaranteed signing bonus that hits your bank account on July 1st than performance ones you have to try and hit

 

[LeafSteel]

I heard the signing is delayed because he’s waiting to hear back first if he can take Prince Harry’s roster spot.

In terms of cap space, do we have enough to give knies the bonus if we waive Timmins? Also would RoR be eligible for retroactive LTIR? Or has he not been hurt long enough

I would assume he would want both on ELCs the bonuses are what actually makes you the money.

Remember what we were told about marners

 

[Leaf Rocket]

I heard he's not signing becuase he thinks the leafs are classless for playing the EBUG against the habs in the last 70 seconds.

They are not waiving Timmins. lol

If Knies wants bonuses, he can enjoy playing with the Marlies until his ELC is done.

Or he can just wait a year and sign with whoever he wants especially with NCAA nil he will make more in the long run. Timmins is 8 Gus is 9 I'd rather lose either of them then knies

 

[Contenderorpretender]

It's almost a certainty he signs and plays imo. No way he's going to forego signing bonuses/burning a year of RFA by playing another 2 years in college

Well

Or he can just wait a year and sign with whoever he wants especially with NCAA nil he will make more in the long run. Timmins is 8 Gus is 9 I'd rather lose either of them then knies

Isn't it two more years?

 

[Deadly Dogma]

I heard Knies hasn't singed yet because he is mad Kerfoot stole his answer for the # of chicken nuggets to fill the goal crease lol

It's 2 more years for Knies. The earliest possible date he can go UFA is August 15, 2025.

There is no need to waive anyone. Second rounders rarely get performance bonuses, and if he pushes for it, then he's not getting significant NHL time until his ELC is finished. Enjoy the Marlies.....lol

I had him leaving at 99% and Cooley at 100%.

I now have those at 75% and 95%, respectively.

My odds changed Thursday on the flight down to Tampa when I overheard a convo waiting to board

Yes because signing bonuses are different than schedule bonuses.
So we’ll have enough room to give him the max signing bonus for an ELC under the CBA and his ELC salary and nothing else

Plus I don’t think even our best stars got full schedule bonus’ that was one of Marner’s point of contention with Lou

Same thing happened to me, I was at a Kitchener Rangers dinner where a few season ticket holders get invited.
This was when DeBoer was coaching the Devils. They were at the table next to me and I heard DeBoer tell Scott Stevens that Parise was leaving but they were still trying. I mentioned that on here and got roasted!!!!! but hey

Friends of those guys

Still it’s hard to know if those guys are truly friends, or if they are just speculating. at the end of the day, if he doesn’t sign, he doesn’t sign. It’s the way the NHL goes.

His dream is to play with Matthews his favorite player. What other team would he hold out for to sign with? He is UFA in 2 years. Half the Minnesota roster will be gone next year, so there is nothing for him to go back to. The issues is signing bonuses and the Leafs have no cap space to fit him in this year. So he has to weigh burning 1 year off his ELC or having his ELC start next year but with a signing bonus.

Looks like it's not a question anymore anyways

Leafs played last game with an EBUG so they'd still be able to sign him while Murray is injured. Most NCAA players who are any good don't wait to become UFAs either. Whole lot of worrying for nothing
