The 20-year-old goaltender was selected 38th overall and joins Paul Day, Lakers general manager with the Wings.
Knott is the only Wings draftee who has no college commitment so he is eligible to report to the team’s training camp. All other drafted players will not be seen by the Wings until next year.
The Curve Lake resident won gold with Canada at the World Junior Box Lacrosse Championships. Knott made 46 saves on 55 shots en route to a 16-9 win for Team Canada over Team Haudenosaunee in the finals.
Knott was named All-World First Team for all goalkeepers during that tournament.
