Knies has found himself bouncing up and down the lineup with the Leafs forward group for stretches in his rookie season.
Through his first 50GP - he's averaged 14:16 TOI - 13:20 ES - 0:34 PP - 0:20 PK
No issues with his effort / compete
There are times his detail / managing pucks / clearing his zone / locking onto his responsibility defensively has ranged - but for a rookie he's generally been average plus overall in al three zones.
Extends plays along the wall. Battles for net front position. Scores in streaks. Still evolving. Compliments line mates who aren't as engaged physically
