Montreal Canadiens' Knies Trade Talks Collapse

0:00With the NHL today, March 11th, the Montreal Canadians nearly landed a big trade before last Friday's deadline, with reports pointing to Toronto Maple Leafs forward, Matthew Knees as their top target. General manager Ken Hughes confirmed his team was deep in talks for something major, but it fell apart at the last minute. He left the door open to revisit those discussions this summer, and insiders say the Leafs were the other side involved. Fans in both hockey hotbeds lit up with excitement over the rivalry angle. Knees shrugged it off, saying in this market, just about everyone ends up in trade chatter. The 23-year-old power forward signed a 6-year, $46.5 million contract with Toronto last June. Even playing through an injury this season, he's on track to top his previous career high of 58 points. His size, skill, and team-friendly deal make him a prime off-season target, especially for Montreal's young core. Expect the rumors to keep swirling until the market reopens. This story is made
