The Chicago Blackhawks can be all in favour of Alex Tuch or Jason Robertson
NHL Watcher: Matt Marchese on The Fan Hockey Show said that pending UFA Alex Tuch can be a great fit for the Chicago Blackhawks. Elliotte Friedman added:
“I feel that’s a great guess. I feel Chicago would have interest in Jason Robertson too if he ever became available or if Dallas didn’t think they may do it”
Why would the Toronto Maple Leafs even be trying to trade Matthew Knies?
Jay On SC: Frankie Corrado on the Jay Onrait Show on Toronto Maple Leafs forward Matthew Knies and in the event that they needs to be trying to move him.

NHL Rumors: Detroit Red Wings and Minnesota Wild
Corrado: “He’s such a, he’s a singular brand of player. I’m not saying you never trade him, but he’s within the prime of his profession. He’s only going to improve at this point. It had, would need to be a haul, after which some, to even consider that, in the event you’re Toronto.”
Onrait: “So, I assume that my follow-up query is, you obviously feel like they need to just not trade him in any respect. Like, hold, and I assume that’s what was a bit head-scratching to me. As you have a look at all of the players on the roster, he’s probably the one you’d need to keep probably the most. He’s under control.”
Corrado: “Right?”
Onrait: “He’s young, he didn’t have one of the best season last yr. So what? He’s young.”
Corrado: “The entire team had a foul season last yr. Like, it’s I feel it’s unfair to have a look at Matthew Knies and say that, well, that’s what he’s going to be, because he doesn’t have Mitch Marner anymore.”
Onrait: “Right?”
The team was like analytically terrible, right across the board. There was players that had a few of the worst seasons of their profession. So I feel with Matthew Nyes, there’s, there’s definitely a limit to how much production he can have, but it surely’s greater than that.
NHL Rumors: Leafs and McKenna, Senators and DeBusk, Red Wings and Pettersson
It’s the body, the physicality, the way in which he plays the sport. In case you move off from that Matthew Knies, you’re going to be on the lookout for one other Matthew Knies. And he’s still young enough that you’ve a whole lot of runway here, even when there are some moves that occur that change the complexion of the team.”
