Toronto Maple Leafs forward Matthew Knies might be a candidate for an offer sheet this offseason, though the team's management isn't particularly worried about it. With many restricted free agents potentially drawing attention in July, Knies could potentially sign a multi-year deal in the $7 million range, similar to that of Auston Matthews. Other players like Marco Rossi, Evan Bouchard, and Mason McTavish are also likelier targets for offer sheets, especially if negotiations stall.

The conversation around offer sheets tends to create buzz during the offseason, especially when teams start spending their cap space. The anticipation is that if any offer sheets are made, they will likely emerge a few weeks into the free agency period, once teams have sorted through their rosters and budgets.
