Leafs GM John Chayka says Matthew Knies has all the pieces (power forward, contract, etc.) he feels is a valued piece to a winning team. He’ll listen on trade talk, but seems like he’s not overly motivated to move him barring a monstrous offer.
Proud to present my eighth and final ranking and mock draft for the 2026 NHL Entry Draft.
It's not the strongest class I've scouted - that explains some of the trades we've seen - but there are some real hidden gems here. #NHLDraft

On how we got here with Matthew Knies…
Say you’ve got a mint ‘69 Chevy Nova in your garage. You love that car, not looking to sell it.
If I call you and offer you more than you think it’s worth, you’ll have to think about it. Cool, let me know.
Now I’ve got a big mouth and like to talk shop with the boys, so I tell all my car buddies I made you an offer.
Saturday afternoon, you roll up to the weekly car show and all the motorheads heard I might be buying that car, which means you might be selling it. They want to know what you want for it.
Some of these guys live in an actual trailer. Some of them have real money. All a bunch of car guys who love your car.
You’re like woah… I mean, I never said I was selling my car, but now there’s a bidding war going on.
Matthew Knies is your ‘69 Chevy Nova.
Joseph Woll said he was “messing with some hockey cards” (he’s an avid collector) when he got the trade call. Said he was pretty sad to hear the news and went for a walk, then Benoit called him excited that they were coming to Philly together, which majorly lifted Woll’s spirits.
