Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving Will 'Not Operate In Fear' Of Offer Sheet Possibility To RFA Matthew Knies
Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving anticipated the question and preemptively addressed whether he was concerned about restricted free agent Matthew Knies signing an offer sheet. 'That's not anything you can operate in fear with,' he said during his media availability ahead of the 2025 NHL Draft. Advertisement The 22-year-old has emerged as a top power forward for the Maple Leafs after finishing the 2024-25 season with 29 goals and 29 assists in 78 games played. He has particularly excelled in the playoffs, using his 6-foot-3, 227-pound frame to score eight goals and six assists in 27 postseason games. Knies has provided Toronto with exceptional value since signing his three-year, entry-level contract in 2023, and while the Leafs have some control due to his restricted status, the player is due for a significant raise. Report: Maple Leafs, John Tavares And Matthew Knies Making Progress On Contract Extensions Report: Maple Leafs, John Tavares And Matthew Knies Making Progress On Contract Extensions The Toronto Maple Leafs are reportedly grinding away with Advertisement John Tavares and Matthew Knies' camps to get contracts signed before July 1. 'It goes without saying, Matthew is going to make more than what he's making now in his next contract,' Treliving acknowledged. 'And you also want to protect yourself moving into the summer. That's July 1. We want to make sure we're protected.' Of course, July 1 isn't a hard deadline, but getting a new contract for Knies locked down will help the Leafs chart their moves in free agency. The team needs to add depth to its top-nine forward group, particularly up the middle. Getting Knies's contract done before July 1 would help mitigate the threat of an offer sheet, especially with Mitch Marner's future in Toronto looking uncertain. Red Wings Could Move On Maple Leafs' Knies With Offer Sheet Red Wings Could Move On Maple Leafs' Knies With Offer Sheet Matthew Knies could be the Red Wings' next big swing with reports suggesting the Leafs winger may test the offer sheet market. Bridge Deal or Long-Term Contract? There is the possibility that both the Leafs and Knies work on a short-term deal to postpone negotiations on a more substantial raise. That strategy has backfired on Treliving before; he signed Matthew Tkachuk to a three-year deal, only for the player to later make it clear he wouldn't sign an extension. Tkachuk was subsequently traded to the Florida Panthers, where he has since won a couple of Stanley Cups. Advertisement With a long-term deal, the annual average value (AAV) could start at $7 million and go up from there. A recent comparable could drive up Knies's price: 23-year-old JJ Peterka just signed a five-year, $7.7 million AAV contract with the Utah Mammoth after posting 27 goals and 41 assists in 77 games for the Buffalo Sabres last season. 'It's The Best Chance For Me To Win': Matthew Knies Addresses Short-Term Future With Maple Leafs 'It's The Best Chance For Me To Win': Matthew Knies Addresses Short-Term Future With Maple Leafs Matthew Knies wants to be a part of the Toronto Maple Leafs for the long haul. Dallas Stars forward Wyatt Johnston is another potential comparable. The 22-year-old forward signed a five-year deal with an $8.4 million AAV, although he put up better numbers than Knies with 33 goals and 38 assists in 82 games. However, Johnston's contract is in a no-tax state, increasing his take-home pay. Furthermore, Wyatt is a center, whereas Knies is a winger. What Would the Leafs Get if They Lost Knies to an Offer Sheet? If a team were to sign Knies to an offer sheet and the Maple Leafs chose not to match, Toronto would receive a series of draft picks as compensation. He would likely fall under these categories: Advertisement AAV between $4,680,077 and $7,020,113 : Compensation is one 1st-round pick and one 3rd-round pick. AAV between $7,020,114 and $9,360,153 : Compensation is one 1st-round pick, one 2nd-round pick, and one 3rd-round pick. AAV between $9,360,154 and $11,700,192: Compensation is two 1st-round picks, one 2nd-round pick, and one 3rd-round pick. What's The Ideal Contract For Matthew Knies And The Maple Leafs? What's The Ideal Contract For Matthew Knies And The Maple Leafs? When the Toronto Maple Leafs plucked Matthew Knies out of the second round (57th overall) in the 2021 NHL Draft, his potential was unknown. It would be surprising if a team extended an offer sheet large enough to require compensation of two first-round selections. The most likely scenario would fall into the middle AAV tier. And while Treliving said you can't operate in fear of an offer sheet, the successful offer sheets from the St. Louis Blues last summer involving Philip Broberg and Dylan Holloway have certainly made GMs like Treliving understand the possibility exists. Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving Expects Mitch Marner To Hit Free Agency Unless 'Significant Change' Occurs Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving Expects Mitch Marner To Hit Free Agency Unless 'Significant Change' Occurs Unless anything seriously changes, Toronto Maple Leafs forward Mitch Marner will test free agency on July 1. Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving Says John Tavares Negotiations Will Have 'A Good Outcome' Unless Proven Otherwise Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving Says John Tavares Negotiations Will Have 'A Good Outcome' Unless Proven Otherwise Toronto Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving sounded rather optimistic about the prospect of having John Tavares return next season. The 34-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent on July 1 but has expressed a desire to return. That feeling is mutual, despite reports that suggested Advertisement some distance between the two sides during negotiations. 'We Have A Bit Of A Sense Of Where They're At': Will The Maple Leafs Re-Sign Max Pacioretty And Steven Lorentz? 'We Have A Bit Of A Sense Of Where They're At': Will The Maple Leafs Re-Sign Max Pacioretty And Steven Lorentz? When the Toronto Maple Leafs figure out their larger situations, including pending unrestricted free agent John Tavares and restricted free agent Matthew Knies, they can move on to their other priorities.

Ronaldo declares 'Al Nassr forever' after signing a two-year deal to stay in Saudi Arabia
Updated [hour]:[minute] [AMPM] [timezone], [monthFull] [day], [year] With the words 'Al Nassr forever' Cristiano Ronaldo ended uncertainty about his future and signed a two-year contract extension with the Saudi Arabian club on Thursday. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner's latest deal means he will play on until at least the age of 42 and gives him the chance to add to his record-breaking career. 'A new chapter begins. Same passion, same dream. Let's make history together,' Ronaldo said in a social media post along with a picture of him holding up a shirt that said 'Ronaldo 2027.' The contract sees Ronaldo extend his time in Saudi Arabia, having joined Al Nassr at the end of 2022 in one of the most shocking transfers in soccer history after leaving Manchester United. The deal was reportedly worth up to $200 million a year and led to a slew of top players, including Neymar and Karim Benzema , leaving Europe for the oil-rich kingdom. With his contract due to expire, the 40-year-old Ronaldo sparked uncertainty at the end of the Saudi season last month when he said the 'chapter is over.' But he ended speculation Thursday, saying 'Al Nassr forever' in the club's announcement. The deal is evidence the former Real Madrid forward wants to achieve more. The move to a less-challenging league has also not hindered his standing with his national team. The five-time Champions League winner has won 28 major trophies with club and country and just helped Portugal win the UEFA Nations League title. He is the all-time leading scorer in the Champions League with 141 goals. The World Cup is the only major honor missing from his resume and he may get one last chance to lift soccer's grandest prize at next year's tournament. Despite helping to raise the profile of Saudi Arabian soccer and scoring 77 goals in 74 league appearances, Ronaldo has found trophies hard to come by at Al Nassr. His one so far was the Arab Club Champions Cup in 2023. He is yet to win the Saudi Pro League in three attempts. Still, his latest deal was hailed by the club, which posted a video of him walking on a beach with the caption 'The Story continues..' along with emojis of a goat and a gold heart. Ronaldo is considered by many to be soccer's greatest of all time, a term often abbreviated as 'GOAT.' He and Lionel Messi have had a years-long rivalry as the two finest players of their generation, with the duel reaching its peak when they played for Madrid and Barcelona, respectively. The intensity of the rivalry has diminished in recent years as both players have entered the latter stages of their careers and are playing in less heralded leagues, with Messi joining MLS team Inter Miami in 2023. ___ James Robson is at ___ AP soccer:
