If Knight was likely to be a top-two centre in the NHL, he would have been drafted a lot higher than the 5th round.
Most forwards who make it to the NHL - even most of the ones drafted high and with high expectations - never stick above the 3rd line. Knight is a great pick-up even if he settles in as a third liner. No need to pin unrealistic hopes and expectations on him.
