The Chicago Blackhawks can be all in favour of Alex Tuch or Jason Robertson<\/strong><\/h2>\n

NHL Watcher<\/a><\/strong>: 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:<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel that\u2019s a great guess. I feel Chicago would have interest in Jason Robertson too if he ever became available or if Dallas didn\u2019t think they may do it\u201d<\/p>\n

Why would the Toronto Maple Leafs even be trying to trade Matthew Knies?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Jay On SC<\/a><\/strong>: 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.<\/p>\n

NHL Rumors: Detroit Red Wings and Minnesota Wild<\/a><\/p>\n

Corrado: \u201cHe\u2019s such a, he\u2019s a singular brand of player. I\u2019m not saying you never trade him, but he\u2019s within the prime of his profession. He\u2019s 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\u2019re Toronto.\u201d<\/p>\n

Onrait: \u201cSo, 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\u2019s what was a bit head-scratching to me. As you have a look at all of the players on the roster, he\u2019s probably the one you\u2019d need to keep probably the most. He\u2019s under control.\u201d<\/p>\n

Corrado: \u201cRight?\u201d<\/p>\n

Onrait: \u201cHe\u2019s young, he didn\u2019t have one of the best season last yr. So what? He\u2019s young.\u201d<\/p>\n

Corrado: \u201cThe entire team had a foul season last yr. Like, it\u2019s I feel it\u2019s unfair to have a look at Matthew Knies and say that, well, that\u2019s what he\u2019s going to be, because he doesn\u2019t have Mitch Marner anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n

Onrait: \u201cRight?\u201d<\/p>\n

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\u2019s definitely a limit\u00a0to how much production he can have, but it surely\u2019s greater than that.<\/p>\n

NHL Rumors: Leafs and McKenna, Senators and DeBusk, Red Wings and Pettersson<\/a><\/p>\n

It\u2019s the body, the physicality, the way in which he plays the sport. In case you move off from that Matthew Knies, you\u2019re going to be on the lookout for one other Matthew Knies. And he\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n
