Knight's upside is to be Manny Malholtra. ........, but if at least one of Poirer or Klimchuk don't greatly exceed his impact on the team this rebuild will take forever.

So one of the Flames 2 untradeable forwards came out of the University Of Alaska with 34 pts in 37 games. He didn't play in the NHL until he was 25 years old. And now Glencross is a top-6 player on any team in the league.
Knight is far ahead of Glencross at age 22.. At Age 25 the upside for Glencross was 4th line.
How can you guess with any certainty how guys with no pro experience will play in the NHL.... Nemisz made the WJC team.... Boyd and Dawes and Daniel Tkaczuk and even Rico Fata were stars on that team
