Team USA announced their Olympic rosters on Friday morning, and Matthew Knies did not make the roster. This has come as a surprise to many Leafs fans and hockey fans worldwide. Knies has had an up-and-down season with the Maple Leafs, but his game has elevated his game in the right direction, and he could have proved to be a real force on the Olympic roster.
The Team USA build
The USA Olympic team is filled with size and grinders. They announced players such as Brock Nelson, JT Miller, and Matt Boldy. These are players who play a similar way to Matthew Knies.
