Trade Deadline

I don't really understand that. What's the difference that he would strike between them?

Knies is an eye test god, Minten plays "the right way". Both have relatively limited offensive upsides though (Knies higher than Minen imo, but still capping at a 2LW type imo).

They're the exact type of prospects who get over valued by the hockey establishment types.

He's seen Lilly and Robertson at the NHL level and either hates them, or knows his coach hates them and is willing to accomodate him

He and his people drafted Cowan, and Minten hasnt been around long enough to upset anyone yet. Mystery boxes>

And why is Knies exempt?

I still refuse to believe they don't value Lilly.

He's not going anywhere. If anything, I'd expect to see a contract extension announced rather than a trade.

I've seen almost nothing to indicate that they think highly of him. They've sat him in the playoffs a few years running now for every plug #7 they could overpay for. Sheldon loses his fucking mind in the media every time Lilly makes a mistake. Sheldon tries just about every iteration of the blueline he can before considering giving Lilly a bigger role and then whenever Lilly does excel in a bigger role (like when Rielly was out) it's immediately back to the way things were at the first opportunity.

It really, really looks like an organization that doesn't grasp what's going on right in front of them and isn't valuing it. Which tracks in how we've developed prospects for years now.

You have to admit how they've handled him this year is different than other years.
