In a recent interview during Monday's episode of Leafs Morning Take, hosted by Nick Alberga and Jay Rosehill, Knies talked about his role for the upcoming season.
Obviously, coming in a new season has its own challenges. Even if he did well in the past, it doesn't mean he'll have the same success right away.
He'll have to be good if he wants to play on the top six. He seems confident that he can achieve it. If he starts the season in the right conditions, and take on the opportunities when they present themselves, there's no doubt that he can succeed.
