Hey Matt! I posted this reply to you in previous thread before I saw your new post..

Hahaha have some lunch

Knight was on fire this game, his playoff debut with team facing elimination. He gets hung out to dry as TB comes in 2on1 in the opening minute and buries one. Knight showed the poise of a veteran after that, totally stoning TB the rest of the way as the crowd went wild cheering him on.
Can’t wait to see more!
Development/rookie camp starts today. Knight, Lundell and Denisenko are there.
I imagine all three will dominate at this camp

Noel is a big kid with speed. I hope he shows us something. I think this will be a do-or-die camp for him. What scares me about Knight is his slow movement going from post to post. It's like he's on valium.

Looking forward to Knight’s further development. I don’t remember noticing slow movements from post-to-post. Will def keep my eye on that as we see more of him.

Knight is no Felix Potvin. He doesn't have cat-like reflexes. it too bad about Grudbranson, their gain, and our loss.

Actually, I'm not surprised to see Weegar on the thievery list. He's quietly been a solid defender for quite a while now. he deserves some league-wide recognition.

No surprise that Yandle isn't there. Of course, if they publish a list for who coughed it up most...

Yes, with Yandle gone and Reinhart and (to a lesser extent) Thornton added, I think the Panthers have plenty of room to the upside this year.

Go Panthers!

Weegar has made a name for himself the past couple years and is def on the top defensemen in the league list of you ask me. He’s just been flying under the radar for a bit.

He’s been great!

Haha. I could see a lot of teams wanting him on their squad and he would be a top pairing guy on a lot of teams.

With not trading driedger, they shouldnt have played knight. All it really did was burn a year of his nice cheap contract. Sure he got experience but was it worth enough to burn a year???
