Morgan Rielly Shares His True Thoughts on Maple Leafs' Top Prospect

Jake: "Last question, Morgan. So, right before the playoffs last year, the Leafs added, what I think is going to be a huge piece in Matthew Knies. I was so impressed with this game. What do you think?"

Rielly: "Just ceilings like, because I think he can really develop to be like a star first-line player. He's going to be outstanding. I think he was in the gym with me this week, and he is just, he's young and he's, he's just moving weights around. That, he's so strong. And he's, he's a really great player, and he has that motivation and, I think that with our team and the guys that he plays with, you know, whoever that is, whether he's on the first line or the third or the fourth line, he has an opportunity to really thrive and, as his teammate, and I think other guys feel this, we want to make him feel comfortable, put him in a, you know, a position to be successful and, just kind of do his thing. He's going to be outstanding for us, and so we just want to help him and, but I don't, I don't know how much he needs that, because again I was in the gym with him and he's, he's throwing weights around that are pretty impressive."
