Reports: Matthew Knies Signs Six-Year Extension with Maple Leafs Worth US$46.5M

The Toronto Maple Leafs signed 22-year-old left-winger Matthew Knies to a six-year, US$46.5 million contract extension on June 29, 2025, in Toronto.
The deal came ahead of Knies becoming a restricted free agent on July 1, allowing the Maple Leafs to avoid offer sheet risks and retain a key forward.
During the 2024-25 season, Knies recorded 29 goals and 29 assists across 78 regular-season contests, then contributed an additional five goals and two assists throughout 13 playoff matches.
The contract is valued at $7.75 million per year on average, a figure that some fans consider high while others commend it as securing a key player for the team.
This long-term extension secures Knies as a key top-line skater and helps mitigate fallout amid likely changes involving players like Mitch Marner.
