Toronto Maple Leafs Sign Matthew Knies to Six-Year Extension

News summary

The Toronto Maple Leafs have secured young forward Matthew Knies with a six-year contract extension worth $7.75 million annually, locking down a key player who showed significant growth by scoring 29 goals and 58 points in the 2024-25 season. Knies has become a critical part of the Leafs’ top line alongside Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, known for his physical play and leadership on and off the ice. Meanwhile, the Maple Leafs are bracing for the likely departure of star winger Mitch Marner in free agency, with multiple reports suggesting they may target Vancouver Canucks forward Brock Boeser as a replacement. Boeser, a crafty goal scorer with playoff experience, is expected to command a sizeable contract and could fill the offensive void left by Marner. Although Marner’s return remains a possibility, Boeser has indicated he does not expect to re-sign with Vancouver, making Toronto a strong candidate to acquire him. Toronto’s offseason decisions will be pivotal in shaping their top-six forward group as they aim to maintain competitiveness.
