Will be interesting to see how he develops in the NCAA.

He plays for the Windsor Spitfires in the CHL.

My buddy emailed this to me today. Has he said anything about this? I think it's kind of funny.



Or did I miss something on this? I'm not totally up to date with the Knight stuff.

If he did, this was dated back in April, 2011. But honestly, I can't blame him for saying that.

I believe this has been covered earlier, the tweet was one of the first things to come out after the trade.

Knight has since removed the tweet and I believe stated that the Flames are definitely his new favourite team. Something along those lines at least haha.

I'm excited for this guy though. It's nice to see that photo with the jersey. I love the direction the Flames are going with their centers: big, young, two-way players that are good at faceoffs.

I think it was said that he will play top six? Not sure.

I'd say he was an Oilers fan, and I believe the hatred level for Oilers fans goes 1:Calgary 2: Vancouver, that's my logic anyways.

Pretty sure he was a Nucks fan but thats well behind him now.

Nope. In this video he's wearing a Canucks t-shirt:

So what are realistic expectations for Knight again?

Tyler Bozak with more size and grit?

If Knight can produce like Tyler Bozak (about 45-50 points). I would be thrilled. I think those expecations are a wee bit high for his rookie season

Didn't really mean just his rookie season, was thinking more long term.

That's the media lounge at McMahon!

Man, have I watched a lot of football in that room over the years...


Edit: Although... I don't recognize that whiteboard, so it might not be that exact room...

The Flames' administration is all working out of McMahon right now. All the Flames' press conferences will be out of there for the next while.
