Warhippy Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 NCAA Center Corban Knight, a former pick of the Florida Panthers and as recently as this season ranked 4th on their prospect list has decided to test free agency. Calgary and Edmonton as well as a good many other teams including Vancouver have been vying for his services since declaring earlier in the week. a 6 foot 2 center just shy of 200 pounds claims he excels in a 2 way game and is a face off specialist. Thought I would post this, just because the kid seems to have the passion and desire to want to play for a hockey market. Quite a few other links but this one has the best information about him as a player and not just fan conjecture and desire http://oilonwhyte.com/2013/06/17/rumour-the-oilers-would-like-to-sign-college-free-agent-center-corban-knight/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tortorella's Rant Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Worth throwing a contract at instead of some plug for the farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklax Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 Not surprised, he's going to be down the depth chart with all the young centers florida has, more-so if they get mackinnon. Someone will get a solid prospect in him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pears Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I went from who is this guy to he'd be a good pick up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhippy Posted June 18, 2013 Author Share Posted June 18, 2013 I bring him up specifically because Gillis has had amazing luck with undrafted players and NCAA signings. Might not be a bad attempt, although it seems he is leaning towards an Alberta team that could utilize him right away in the line up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpt Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 I sure hope Edmonton doesn't get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
"Bull" Horvat Posted June 18, 2013 Share Posted June 18, 2013 like the shirt but damn that Albertan voice reminds me of Raymond haha guy needs a bit more maturing, gain some mass and work on his skating looking from previous reports skating could be an issue. If Torts gets hired I see him as the next Kreider But it also seems like Stevens would be the best guy at developing younger players ... hmm. Good luck to the kid I guess, the next Justin Schultz case haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
