Simple knot Floer homology implies grid number one

Let L(p,q)L(p,q) be a lens space and let KL(p,q)K\subset L(p,q) be a knot. Write HFK^(L(p,q),K)\widehat{HFK}(L(p,q),K) for its hat knot Floer homology, and let pp be the order of H1(L(p,q))H_1(L(p,q)).

Simple knot Floer homology conjecture. If

rk(HFK^(L(p,q),K))=p,\operatorname{rk}\bigl(\widehat{HFK}(L(p,q),K)\bigr)=p,

then KK has grid number 11.

The source says that this implication would establish the Berge conjecture after combining it with a previously proved surgery-to-simple-Floer-homology result. Its resolution is not specified in the source.
