Auston Matthews has key prediction for Matthew Knies

The Toronto Maple Leafs liked what they saw from Matthew Knies, who provided an instant impact upon his insertion into the lineup for Game 2 of what would be their eventually successful Round 1 Stanley Cup Playoffs series against the Tampa Bay Lightning.

And despite the multiple additions that are arriving in town for this upcoming year, Knies figures to play a key role in Toronto's success and wanting to build off their postseason victory earlier this spring. However, he's going to have to prove it once again.

The good news for Knies is that despite having suffered a concussion in the postseason, he would have been able to play has the Leafs been able to continue their season.

And if this indication from Auston Matthews is any indication, Knies is in for a full year.

What kind of season will Knies enjoy in 2023-24 for the Leafs?
