He can best help the team in the AHL.
How so? He hasn‘t been the worst of the bottom liners. He needs a solid minutes, this type of on/off minutes doesn‘t do Tom or the team any favors.

He played 69 games last year for the powerhouse Penguins, he was able to contribute 8 total points. He's not good and shouldn't be given minutes. Enough with this.
Yes and in what role? His role was to dump the puck and not to get scored against. If I remember correctly, he played alot of penalty killing in the Penguins.
I just like him. Very good grinder
I don't care what role you're in, 8 points isn't enough in that amount of games. Cizikas played 5 less games and put up 17 points for a terrible Islanders team. Alan Quine put up 18 points in 61 games two seasons ago. You're out to lunch.
I’m not ready to annoint him a top nine forward and re-sign him to an extension, but I don’t think you’re giving him enough credit. He’s getting a chance to show some of the offensive ability he had in juniors that he wasn’t able to show due to his development/deployment on Pittsburgh.
When he was on the powerplay, he went right to the net and was screening the goalie too. He’s a big body that can skate and his shot is not half bad.
His dad Eric was a legendary player in Germany.

Yeah without a doubt his father was the best german player in history.
I only know his nick name "wardrobe on skates"This is going a ways back, but I think they used to call him the German Phil Esposito.

I see where you're coming from but Pittsburgh thought he was good enough to keep him around for two Cup runs and for a third season after that. Would they have won those cups whether Knuckles was there or not? Undoubtedly. But, he was on the squad vs. whatever other bottom six choices they could have made. That must mean something. And now the Isles brass have decided he should be on the roster vs. the other choices that they have and who are we to substitute our judgement for theirs?He played 69 games last year for the powerhouse Penguins, he was able to contribute 8 total points.

He's almost at a career high in goals.
