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

[MeenOlViks]

Greenway says he’s always looking to pass. Donny gonna make a star center outta that boy

 

[Fearnot]

We really paid as much for Greenway as the rangers did for Patrick Kane.

 

[ValJamesDuex]

I think it's really cool reading how badly Granato wanted him in the team. That has to inspire some confidence in Greenway.

That's going to be a secret weapon to help bring in players to a market with stigma

What are the chances Peters/Rivet/Vanek get stuff from Ellis ? Maybe these guys are helping recruitment behind the scenes ? Can Uncle Craig get Weeger here this summer finally ?

Not sure how one has anything to do with the other. Kane had 1 destination he'd agree to go to.

 

[Paxon]

Not sure if it was mentioned but Greenway is from Canton NY, up near The Thousand Islands, really beautiful country. Probably not someone who is going to sulk here in the winters and want to play in California or Florida.

Really close to Potsdam, for reference

And he's had a terrible season. And is a pending UFA.

Full marks to Vanek for calling the deal.

He's a treat to listen to on After the Whistle. Wouldn't be surprised in the slightest if he's in a front office soon. He has very measured takes and seems to be very in touch with whats going on around the league in terms of specific players, strategies, technology, etc

He’s one of the only former players besides the guys that are already in coaching or management that I believe watches a ton of hockey no matter what team.

The dude loves the game.

 

[old kummelweck]

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.

I'd like to see him as that disrupter on the Thompson line that is missing, and put the other lines back to where they were the game Tuch got injured.

 

[Chainshot]

I'd like to see him as that disrupter on the Thompson line that is missing, and put the other lines back to where they were the game Tuch got injured.

Yeah, he has the size and d-zone coverage that they're missing without Tuch. I like what Quinn's doing up there but their d-zone play is as always a concern.

 

[Dubi Doo]

Yup. Quinn is starting to feel it, but he still gets confused in the D zone, and he's with two players who also look to get confused in the d zone. Tage's next step is improving his two-way game, which I think he will in time; defense is not an easy task for a center.

Canton is the home of St. Lawrence University in case anybody is interested. ECAC doormat and alma mater to such NHL legends as Rich Peverley and also Rich Peverley.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Won’t miss him much, but I like it for you guys. Also appreciate the 2nd. I think it’s a pretty nice deal for both sides. Hope he does well.

 

[markpenske]

Not a fan of Greenway. He's big and powerful but plays small. Add to that, little offensive skill. We didnt give up much..I guess

The Donny Effect..

This may work w both him and Riley.

The repoir already exists to improve thru their trust of Donny and their self awareness... Immediately.

Greenway may directly impact tuchs spot and all three may benefit from Jordan embracing , roles which He excels at.. . hitting, forcheck and feeding both of his new linemates off the wall..

We really paid as much for Greenway as the rangers did for Patrick Kane.

Deep pockets of fifty legit guys fighting for 6 contested sabre spots along w 6 forward and 4 D in ROC..

 

[Matt Ress]

Greenway will be fun to watch and we'll wish he pushed people around more. But he won't be an impact player until next season, maybe a full year from now.

Amerks legend Les Kuntar...

 

[beerme1]

If he can be a 30 pt, physical middle six winger, that's a win.

I'm here to say he can be a physical bottom/middle six winger that can score 30 points and keep guys like Cozens and Killer Krebs from having to muck it up. This is indeed a very nice win for our Sabres.

 

[wunderpanda]

i don't mind it. makes me want borgen back because of that olympic team

 

[ValJamesDuex]

KA did mention they thought Greenway could play up and down the lineup, so that makes me think they are are optimistic about some upside. If he is a solid on L3W I would be happy.

@Chainshot pointed out the Tuch factor here. His forecheck and other attributes cover up for things and makes his line go, having another player with some physicality, grit, and speed was something we all know we needed.

 

[CowbellConray]

I trust Granato to push him. If greenway sees this entire team moving their feet and stacking, that hopefully infects his legs as well

 

[ValJamesDuex]

Chad points out Greenway played better under Boudreau in a fast paced offensive system

Trade discussion 50:00 mark

And Mike McKenna.

Canton is the little brother of Potsdam. And I say that as a completely unbiased ‘96 grad of Clarkson University.
