The Fourth Interval: Not a lot to report on contract talks between the Toronto Maple Leafs and pending RFA ahead Matthew Knies and pending UFA defenseman Jake McCabe in response to David Pagnotta.

Ryan Paton: “Lastly, the Maple Leafs, that they had talks with Matthew Knies and Jake McCabe on extensions to get them performed earlier than the top of the season to return, or hopefully earlier than the beginning of subsequent season.
Two totally different conditions, although, Knies can change into an RFA. McCabe can change into a UFA. Any replace on these two?”

Pagnotta: “Yeah, going again to Pittsburgh and Patterson? No,
Nothing. Nothing impactful anyway, by way of something on the horizon, Nick Alberga really was the primary report yesterday that nothing is admittedly rolling but with Knies and, and the Toronto Maple Leafs.
I can let you know similar scenario with Jake McCabe in Toronto. That they had some talks at camp that carried it, I imply, they began in July. Nothing but, nothing materials, nothing has materialized. Nothing has gained any traction up to now, with respect to Jake McCabe on an extension in Toronto.
Now look, every part can change with one telephone name, however that’s what needs to be one hell of a telephone name proper now to get the ball rolling on a deal. They’re open to it, McCabe and his camp.
My understanding is that they’re completely open to it if Brad Treliving and the workers, need to give them a name and say, ‘Hey, let’s attempt to get this performed.’ They’re prepared to have these conversations proper now. However we’re just about on the similar level, similar with Knies, type of on the similar level as they had been in the summertime to now, that is most likely one thing that will get extended.

For Knies wouldn’t be shocked if one thing occurs within the low season. For McCabe, let’s see how he continues to carry out as a result of he’s had a hell of a great begin.”
