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.

He was drafted years ago- players develop. End of story. He would be drafted a heck of a lot higher than 5th round this year. I wasn't pinning any expectations on him, I was doing the opposite.
