you guys think he will be available even tho he signed a nmc
Knies is a non starter
L.A. would be stupid to trade him unless it is enormous.
I would literally check out if they trade Knies… Would be a classic Leaf mistake.
Byfield is perfect for the Leafs, but not for Knies. Even if they have to blow the playoffs this year. it is a good deal to pick up Byfield
Not a chance they move knies
As reported on
@TSN_Sports
"Insider Trading," Mikko Rantanen's camp is expected to let the #hurricanes know in the next few days where things stand on contract talks.
While several teams have inquired about a trade, Carolina hasn't yet received or asked for a single offer. From Chris Johnston
IF LA IS MOVING HIM MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH HIM!!!
If the Leafs ask for Byfield. I don't think there's a scenario were Knies doest go the other way. Who else could the Leafs send? LA isn't rebuilding, so they'd want an NHL player. There's no one else. Players like Robertson, doesn't get this trade done.
Quinton has just gotten hot. Why would they deal him now.? What would they have to get back. I can see the leafs being interested in now.
Quinton Byfield is better than Matthew Knies right now. Knies is having his best season 21 goals 37 points Byfield heated up at the end last year and had 20 goals 55 points. he's heating up now and has 34 points to Knies 37.
They wouldn't accept knies for Byfield.
I much rather keep Knies and trade for a hidden gem like the Bolts did when they traded for Paul out of Ottawa.
at least one of our goalies
they better keep knies, i will be pissed. 6.5 for 20 goals a year??? no thank you.
Kypreos took too many punches in the head . Stop listening to this bafoon ! 😂
Knies is not better. Byfield was a #2 pick overall. Typical Toronto people who don’t watch the west have no idea. I like knies but he is not enough to get Byfield. Also the Leafs are likely not able to match what other teams will put up for this guy, he is a future #1 C.
Finally Darius youre back making sense again.! Theres absolutely ZERO chance the Kings trade Byfeild.. Theres just no way. They need a guy like that Kopitar is getting older. And theyre in a playoff spot as of now… If anything theyre going to want to move their picks which they have a 1st they also have Alex Turcotte.they also have some very good looking prospects. Theres zero need to pull a guy like Byfeild off their team when they have lots of cap room, and could also move on from a guy like Jennault whos a UFA he could easily go back the other way to a team like anaheim as a cap dump for a guy like Zegras or Strome etc . unless theyre getting back a top player like a Rantanen. Kyper should stop doing these stupid rumors. If anything it will be Turcotte and a 1st move
Perhaps
Turcotte
Jennault
1st
That could easily pick you up a guy like Brock Nelson, Rackell , Boeser or Schenn. I would expect Kings to get both a depth defenceman and an offensive guy like Nelson.
The most the leafs could offer is Domi and Robertson.
Trading Knies is a fireable offence
I think were gunna see a really selfless move by Tavares this offseason. Hes older hes made his money and he wants to stay in Toronto. I expect to see an Ohtani type contrac6t from Tavares where his Salary comes in around 2M then another 3 or 4 mil a season will be defferred. Keeping Tavares cap hit low.
From trade rumors that leafs linked to LD/ RD Bowen Byram with Sabers and Ex coyote RD Conner Murphy with Blackhawks and LD/RD Mario Ferraro with Sharks and RD Luke Schenn with Predators if true or not we will see?
McMann, Domi and 1st.
Then sign Rantanen in FA.
Knies is better and has 10 more goals then byfeld knies younger and will be a better player
Moving for Quentin Byfield for John Tavares or another young piece would be a steal. I always thought Byfield would be a leaf but I thought it would have been for Matthews.
NO NO NO NO
What a bunch of idiots if t.o. Gets rid of Knies ,stupid,stupid stupid. they always do something stupid.
Byfield isn't a power forward
Darius and Nick, check your past episode I called it. I called it before before he did. Quinton Byfield Center of LA Kings for Nick Robertson, Fraser mitten . they like Robertson from the Anaheim area. I called it .
Matthew knies compared to Quinton Byfield….please Byfield any day of the week, let's be serious second overall pick and look at the guy size originally from the new market area Ontario. Bobby McMann, just as good as Matthew knies just put them on Matthew's line. Please, if they want Matthew, kniesI would trade him in a heartbeat.
nawwwwwwwwwwwt happenin
Knies isn't going anywhere
If they trade him I'm done watching the leafs.
Don't talk crazy
I don't buy this one…Kings would be stupid to trade him and so would the Leafs for trading Knies
Cowan, Robertson, Minten, 2026 1st for Byfield ……..then include Knies
He's hardly a stud. His 6.25m is too iffy. Leafs can sign a UFA next season for that money and not give up any assets.
Well now I know where Rantanen is going, no way Leafs have chance at Byfield.
Why are they getting rid of Byfield tho?
When did sports become more about speculation about what's going to happen off the ice off the basketball court, off the baseball diamond, tell me about what's actually transpired, in current what is going on, such a tremendous waste are time and resources, who actually cares about what these idiots think is going to happen and all their speculating tell me about it after it's happened that's what sports news is supposed to be
Knies should stay, he hasnt hit his full potential yet.
