""It's kind of an injury that I don't think could get much worse. So, I don't think there's any risk in me playing.""
"Knies' stats indicate a career high in points, but his diminished speed suggests he has been dealing with a knee injury all season."
"Every time you step on the ice, there is risk, so why wouldn't you eliminate all risk and sit him, as he's clearly one of the best assets on the team?"
"With 12 games left in the season, the Leafs have zero percent chance at making the playoffs, so Treliving needs to tell Berube to sit him immediately."
Matthew Knies has been playing through a knee injury all season, impacting his performance. Despite achieving career-high points, his speed has diminished. Concerns arise about the risk of further injury if he continues to play. The Toronto Maple Leafs are unlikely to make the playoffs, making it prudent to rest Knies. The team should focus on securing a better position in the NHL Draft Lottery by not risking their best assets, including Knies, in the remaining games of the season.
