Knies signed a six-year, $46.5 million contract extension with the Maple Leafs on Sunday, Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet reports.

Knies would have been offer-sheet eligible July 1, so Toronto prioritized getting a long-term contract done with the 22-year-old winger, who broke out for 29 goals and 29 assists in 78 games during the 2024-25 regular season. Knies operated primarily as the top-line left wing on a line with Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner. With Marner likely headed elsewhere this offseason, more of the offensive load could fall on Knies.
