That's nice and all and I'm not trying to dump on him as i do like him as a prospect, but no GM in the league would trade Poirier or Klimchuk (or anyone else drafted in the 1st round this year) for him at this point.

You need excellent third liners to win championships. Knight appears to be a possible excellent third liner. There are no surprises here - people respect a quality checking center.
