Confirmed with Link: [BUF/MIN] Buffalo acquires Jordan Greenway for a 2023 2nd (from VGK) and 2024 5th

[Sabre Dance]

Good addition. Role player we lacked.

 

[Paxon]

Probably not enough time to get him in the lineup tomorrow afternoon right?

I don't see why not.

 

[ValJamesDuex]

What line will he play on ?

 

[Ace]

I don't see why not.

I think he’s traveling from Calgary. He’ll be here in plenty of time…but that’s a lot of PM travel for a 1230 game

 

[pf8363]

I could see Greenway-Krebs-Olofsson being a really effective 3rd line

 

[Ace]

I could see Greenway-Krebs-Olofsson being a really effective 3rd line

Maybe if Greenway starts hitting Olofsson

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

I don't see why not.

home game, I could see them wanting to roll him out at home, could also see them hold him out especially if tonight's whether impacts his travel

 

[Snippit]

2nd round pick for a guy who has 7 points...my initial reaction is "meh".

You think they needed to add scoring and that’s what the focus should have been?

He is American he shouldn't have a problem. Stillman is Canadian playing on a Canadian team and needed a visa that was the holdup with him

It's about value. I don't see how this player is worth a 2nd round pick.

 

[TheBarnIsElectric]

Skinner Thompson Tuch (Quinn for now)
Greenway Cozens Mitts
Peterka Krebs Quinn (VO for now)
Girgs Jost Okposo

Olofsson
Hino

I like that second line. A little better defensively with Greenway. Cozens to transition the puck and then work em down low, crowd the front of the net when the D shoot.

 

[Ehran]

2nd round pick for a guy who has 7 points...my initial reaction is "meh".

Take a look at the season before. 27 points in 62 games. Plus his size and # of hits.

Scoring potential, good defensively, goes to the front of the net, and engages physically. Those are assets he has and several are ones that are lacking on this roster.

 

[TheMistyStranger]

I have very little doubt he will be worth that.

We all know what happened with Tage when Meatballs got ahold of him .....

Not saying that (huge jump) is going to happen Greenway, but it could

 

[Dubi Doo]

He and Foligno sort of rotated who was on which side from my experience of Wild viewing.

Speaking of Foligno, can we do a reunion tour? Imagine replacing Okoposo and Olofsson with Foligno and Greenway. That'd make the team harder to pay against.

 

[Ace]

Well…that jump can’t happen because it’s never happened anywhere accept Tage but Greenway is a different kind of player who, unlike Tage, has shown the ability to play his game in the league before.

his points will increase some just by being being on a team that scores a lot more…but his overall game will improve just by being used correctly.

Granato will put him in position to succeed and let him be himself and those are things that the current staff in Minny didn’t do.

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

Although I haven't hated Quinn on the first line, I do wonder if Donny throws Greenway up on the top line. Not as skilled as Tuch obviously but I think having another big guy with Tage and Skinner makes that line work.

Wouldn't be surprised if Donny gives it try.

 

[Der Jaeger]

Mittelstadt and Greenway will work

That was my suggestion earlier in the thread. Start him strong

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

I'm with ya. Not saying it will be solidified but just something to try and yeah put Greenway into a spot to start.

 

[joshjull]

I'm curious to see what Don does lineup-wise. If he goes in as the d-cover for Thompson and Skinner or as a retrieval guy for Cozens... might be more than just playing down the lineup.

Donny certainly has options on where to use Greenway. Part of me wants him with Krebs so he can go full rat mode with backup.

Its funny idk if I would say that Krebs can be a "rat" because he doesn't seem to be the one starting shit but he won't take shit from people. But to your point with Greenway on his wing maybe he will feel more comfortable starting shit.

 

[Husko]

It's about value. I don't see how this player is worth a 2nd round pick.

Teams are finally coming around to the actual worth of picks outside the first round. Only a third of players picked in the second will ever even play 100 games in the NHL. If you're an NFL fan, I consider second round picks equivalent to like a 4th or 5th in the NFL.

 

[CaliSabresfan24]

YES!
