Ryan Paton: “Lastly, the Maple Leafs, that they had talks with Matthew Knies and Jake McCabe on extensions to get them completed earlier than the tip of the season to return, or hopefully earlier than the beginning of subsequent season.
Two completely different conditions, although, Knies can grow to be an RFA. McCabe can grow to be a UFA. Any replace on these two?”

Pagnotta: “Yeah, going again to Pittsburgh and Patterson? No,
Nothing. Nothing impactful anyway, by way of something on the horizon, Nick Alberga truly was the primary report yesterday that nothing is absolutely rolling but with Knies and, and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
I can let you know identical scenario with Jake McCabe in Toronto. They’d some talks at camp that carried it, I imply, they began in July. Nothing but, nothing materials, nothing has materialized. Nothing has gained any traction thus far, with respect to Jake McCabe on an extension in Toronto.
Now look, every little thing can change with one telephone name, however that’s what needs to be one hell of a telephone name proper now to get the ball rolling on a deal. They’re open to it, McCabe and his camp.
My understanding is that they’re completely open to it if Brad Treliving and the employees, need to give them a name and say, ‘Hey, let’s attempt to get this completed.’ They’re keen to have these conversations proper now. However we’re just about on the identical level, identical with Knies, form of on the identical level as they have been in the summertime to now, that is most likely one thing that will get extended.

For Knies wouldn’t be shocked if one thing occurs within the low season. For McCabe, let’s see how he continues to carry out as a result of he’s had a hell of a very good begin.”
