Knott will be
allowed to hit free agency after the Penguins opted not to give him a qualifying offer.
ANALYSIS
Knott split the year between the AHL and ECHL, going pointless in his 11 games with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton while registering 14 points in 18 appearances for ECHL Wheeling. The 2015 second-round pick by the Blackhawks could have trouble landing an NHL deal and may end up playing on a minor-league-only contract.
