Ranking Prospects 2021-2022

Amirov is still very much a kid, playing in a pro mens league (deservedly, albeit fostered by covid circumstances) for his hometown team. As much as I'd like to see him make the jump, I think taking time here to get him ready for that move is the right thing to do. Barring further injury, he might only spend half a season in the AHL after this season and get the Nylander call up (and thus, suppressed second contract).

All depends on how he is utilized.  I agree with you that he's probably a year + away from being NHL ready today.  Whether that year is spent in the AHL or KHL this year and AHL next year I don't really care.  I just want to make sure he isn't getting jerked around.  If he's playing 14 minutes a night in the KHL I think he is right where he needs to be.  If he's getting benched so the team can dress 8 defensemen, that's a problem.

Can't make too much hay about highlight moves in isolation, but Knies has a lot of tools in the toolbox and looks like he knows how to leverage them.

Losing to 3 straight goals on a 5-min major is hilarious

While I am encouraged by what I have seen of Knies, I really feel that his parents missed an opportunity to name him Bennet Bertrand, which would make him B's Knies.  I would also accept Bees as a first name.

That?s such a weird angle to take a pass as a one timer, and Knies just rips it without an extra thought.

Leafs need to show this guy those old Mogilny lasers from the goal line.

Why is it a weird angle?

The pass is what makes that play. Any clue who made it?

The replay from the goal line showed it like Knies received the pass from behind him. I know it?s just a textbook slapshot: opens hips to the pass, turns his lead foot to the net with knee over toes, winds up with the pass halfway to his strikezone.

Pass comes from Logan Cooley

I think that's why you see the leg drag.

Oh good; that headshot he took recently looked bad.

Does this team have no other goalies?  How the hell has he played 40 games out of 45?

When you got a guy who can play like that, looks like we finally drafted what looks like the real deal.  And Woll was lights out for the Marlies last night stopped 45 of 47 shots.
