About this episode
The Montreal Canadiens came closer than many fans realize to acquiring Matthew Knies! But just how serious were the discussions, and what exactly was Toronto asking for in return?
In this video, we break down the trade that never happened, the assets the Leafs reportedly valued, and why the Canadiens ultimately walked away from a potential blockbuster. We also examine how Toronto's front office changes could impact Knies' future and whether Kent Hughes and the Canadiens could revisit a deal this summer.
With a new general manager in Toronto and the Canadiens still searching for top-six offensive help, could Montreal make another push for one of the NHL's most intriguing young forwards? We discuss the fit, the cost, the risks, and whether a Knies-to-Montreal scenario still has any chance of becoming reality.
Let us know in the comments: Would you trade for Matthew Knies, and what would you be willing to give up?
