In my head:
okay let’s temper expectations
In reality:
#LET’S GOOOOOOOO
That’s pretty fucking Knies to hear.

Im hard
Pump up the jam
Ayy welcome aboard Knies!
Bunting – JT – Marner
Kerfoot – O’Reilly – Nylander
Jarnkrok – Matthews – Knies
Acciari – Kampf – ZAR
Matchup nightmare if you want to spread the wealth. First 3 lines interchangeable, just funny to put Matthews 3rd.
Knies Matthews Marner first line 😫
he has risen!
LFG
Realistically who would come out of the lineup for him though? ZAR has been a unit out there.
Better win the Conn Smyth, otherwise he’s a bust! /s
Either Knies is pissed and comes into the playoffs and plays out of his mind, or he brings the losing juju with him. Hoping for the former.
Now do Koster for next year
[Believe Knies AAV will be $925K.](https://twitter.com/friedgehnic/status/1645163744450805762?s=21)

Knies on the prize baby!
Omg _it’s happening_
I think Marner comes out of the lineup for knies he’s been a disappointment this year. /s
Don’t you need to play a certain amount of regular season games to be eligible for playoffs?
Shit…forgot Nicky Bobby is #89
Very Knies!
With Jarnkrok out with an injury I’d like to see a lineup like this in Florida:
Bunting – Matthews – Marner
Tavares – O’Reilly – Nylander
Knies – Acciari – Kerfoot
ZAR – Kampf – Lafferty
**OR**
Bunting – Matthews – Marner
Kerfoot – Tavares/O’Reilly – Nylander
Knies – Tavares/O’Reilly – Acciari
Aston-Reese – Kampf – Lafferty
So he plays final three games, then plays with Marlies in playoffs? Feel like thats the best outcome and dont know who he’d replace on full time roster
The Prince That Was Promised has come home.
Hope he picks a banging number. If we still had Lou it’d be number 38
Man…I’m glad, but I still feel so damn bad for this dude, what happened last night was frickin rough!
Playoff games do not count towards 10 game rookie limit if I remember correctly so theoretically his contract should slide to next year?
Jarnkrok Matthews Marner
Bunting Tavares Nylander
Knies ROR Kerfoot
Lafferty Kampf ZAR
That’s a Tasty Lineup
I’m getting the feeling expectations are way too high for this guy.. Hope he can atleast contribute and make the top 6
So what does this mean?!?
Are gawna stanly now?!?
