The Leafs hope to bring him in after the season ends.
The Leafs believe he is ready for the NHL, but according to Corey Pronman of The Athletic, Knies is a highly sought after power-forward listed at #3 in the top prospects for trade. He is pretty much their best prospect right now.
Pronman thinks Knies will be a top-9 winger in the playoffs and the return would be excellent due to high demand.
