Knoblauch decided to just throw everyone not named McDavid, Hyman, or Nugent-Hopkins under the bus. Truly baffling. Question and insane answer comes at 2:40
Full quote because...wow.
Quote:
Jim - "Kris, a couple things. You have Leon playing with Connor sometimes in the games, but often Connor's got Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Zach Hyman, and Leon has got...whoever's left. Do you ever look at it and say - I wish we had one winger that Leon could play with all the time?"
Knobhead - "Yeah, I think it's uhh...Leon has done tremendously well. You look at the superstars around the league and who they play with. Look at Kucherov has Point and Mackinnon, Rantanen. Tavares....or uh Matthew with Marner, and Taveres, Nylander, just all that. Leon doesn't get enough credit for what he accmoplishes without playing with another star. Most superstars have another star to play with and Leon gets to play with.....Connor sometimes. And there's some line juggling that we do and obviously we try and do what's best for our team."
