On Matthew Knies’ training camp:
He has just picked up where he left off in the playoffs. He stepped in out of college last season at the hardest time of the year and showed he can not just play but help and contribute. He has just picked up where he left off.
I am happy he has just picked up and is working. Some of the areas that I thought were issues for him — in particular, on the wall in our own zone and stuff like that — he has improved upon.
He shows a real capacity to learn and apply lessons.
