Ryan Paton: “I saw it lately, I think it was yesterday, the day before, just someone put them in the four rows of the United States, and they had people like this. They had Jake Guentzel Clayton Keller, Vinnie Trocheck and Matt Boldy: Cole Caufield and JT Miller.

Can I throw something at you? And I already know your answer, maybe on the way, it will be like Lane Hutson, Matthew Knies is the kind of player to me who will shine on a stage like this. ”
Jim Biringer: “I’m going to tell you that this might be a hot view. I’m starting with four countries and I’m going to be crucified by the devil’s nation. I really don’t care, but I’ll be on this team with Matthew Knies on Jack Hughes.”
Parton: “JB. Well, I’m with you. Cruel me too. Devil’s country. I’m with you.”
Berlinger: “I like the way Matthew Knies plays. He goes into dirty areas. He wins the hockey battle along the wall. He’s a bigger player. He’s a physical player. Jack Hughes, the injury is a worrying person. He’s not like a winger, like the devil really probably benefiting himself from JT Miller, just by giving Jack’s front, and Jack has to reach for Jack.
Jack never played overseas or played professionally somewhere else for a year or went to college like his brother. My four countries showed me, I mean, sometimes he would show flashes, but you tell me, Jack Hughes would be on the team and he would play third.

If Jack Hughes is a third-tier player, is it effective? I also probably wouldn’t have him on a team, if I’m honest, it’s tough, and I’m a big Jack Hughes guy, but I’m going to take Matthew Knies away Jack Hughes. ”
Parton: “I will accept it, I agree with you.
Again, I said this on SXM this year, I know when his contract ends, and there is a discussion about whether it is a quote sheet, by the end of the year in Toronto, and he said, you know, I just want to play with Maple Leafs. That’s what I’m going to do.
Like, it won’t be discussed. But I remember thinking he was like a five-factory player in baseball. If you want someone to want five tools in hockey and I’ll just throw out five tools, he can hit, he can score, he can create, and he’s just a grinder. I mean, that’s the five tools out there. Then why don’t you shine like that? ”
Berlinger: “I mean, he really shines. I mean, he can shine at that stage and I think he shows that he is one of the best Toronto players in the playoffs.”
