Knies scored 29 goals and added 29 assists in his second full season in 2024-25. The Maple Leafs' 2022 second-round pick became an unmistakable member of their top six throughout the year. His scoring even carried over into the postseason, with five goals and two assists in 13 games.

The Maple Leafs are trading Mitch Marner to the Golden Knights, according to multiple media reports. The talented winger reportedly agreed to an eight-year, $96-million US contract with Toronto ahead of the deal with Vegas on Monday.
