Matthew Knies Sweepstakes: Montreal Waits in Line Behind Two Rivals

Knies represents the kind of young, talented asset that contenders are willing to mortgage their future for, and the Habs clearly want in on the action. The question is whether Montreal can leapfrog the competition or if they'll be left watching another star slip away to a division rival.
