Toronto Maple Leafs head coach Craig Berube spoke to reporters and made an interesting revelation about his team and who surprised him the most.
Craig Berube has inherited a pretty good Toronto Maple Leafs roster that is filled with some very good players with bright futures in this league.
One such young stud has been forward Matthew Knies who is easily one of the best 22-year-olds in the NHL right now.
On a line with Mitch Marner and Auston Matthews, Knies was able to score 29 goals and had a total of 56 points which is good stuff considering it is his second full season.

While speaking to reporters, Craig Berube was asked which player on the team surprised him the most this season.
As it turns out, the answer was Matthew Knies. In eyes of Berube, he never could have expected what the forward has turned into after a full season on the top line.
«How he's grown as a player and what he's accomplished this year-I'm not sure I pictured that. So, he's been a special surprise.»
The NHL Playoffs are set to begin on Sunday and of course, fans are going to be curious to see how Matthew Knies performs now that the pressure is on.
He was amazing in the regular season but now he must do it in the postseason as the Leafs look to shake off their curses of the past.
Sunday, the playoffs will begin when the Leafs take on their Ontario rivals, the Ottawa Senators. It is going to be an epic series and we can't wait for it to begin.
Only time will tell whether or not the Maple Leafs can live up to their hype and the expectations of a division champion.
