The Toronto Maple Leafs named Matthew Knies as their representative at this week’s NHL Player Media Tour. We open the episode by breaking down Knies’ impressive comments and how the young forward is stepping into a leadership role. We also dive into Jonas Siegel’s one-on-one with Craig Berube in The Athletic, and share our thoughts on the ongoing contract negotiations between Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers.
