Sunday FTB: Seeing positive growth from key prospects

I always like signing up for the Sunday FTBs, because it’s a good time to give little updates on various Leafs’ prospects who had strong weeks and weekends. Or just to write about who I like!

Matthew Knies

Much ink and digital text has been spilled this year writing about Matthew Knies, who the Leafs drafted in the second round as a bit of a surprise. Myself and any other prospect writer have marveled at his explosive growth this year in his D+1 season, which is his freshman year in the NCAA. He’s not only produced offensively and become one of the top forwards on a top NCAA program, but his underlying numbers look stellar almost across the board.
