The Toronto Maple Leafs may have given up 13 goals over their first three games this season, but in reply they've managed to score 14, so while the blue line needs help, they're looking to continue growing offensively.
Through three games, Knies was in the bottom-six and has yet to produce a point, but a recent update from practice has shown us just how much the Leafs value him going forward.
We've yet to see a true breakout regular season game for the 21-year old, but now, he has the perfect opportunity to do so, and if he settles in, we could be looking at a fantastic campaign upcoming.
