Perreault is top 6 or bust, Grieg plays a similar style to Tampa’s 3rd line guys last year. I’d bank on Grieg becoming a good bottom 6 player over Perreault being a top 6 player. Perreault has to figure out how to properly utilize his toolset

 

[Dominance]

Really like both players, but I think Perreault has legitimate elite potential. I hoped he would make Canada’s WJC team to lock in his eligibility.

Kinda how I see it

Greig is a good prospect but prob tops off as a 3rd liner.

Perreault has the higher ceiling of the 2

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Man, I am so high on Greig. He's got really high bottom 6 possibility but with skills that can make him a top 6 force. I am higher on Greig than I am of Norris and Pinto.

Greig has more translatable NHL tools with not that far off of a ceiling, imo. I believe Ottawa's scouts said they wanted to draft Jarventie with the 28th but couldn't believe Greig was there at 28 and was easy pick.

Perreault looked really good last year in AHL. I’m going him although I like how both players are tracking

 

[LeProspector]

Perreault reminds me a little of Emerson Etem. Hopefully he can reach his ceiling unlike Etem was able to.

Grieg will likely be a shoo-in for a middle-6 role in the NHL. He’s safer and the more projectable player since he could be anything as high as a second liner and no lower than a 3rd liner.
Whereas Perreault I don’t see him being able to play disciplined enough to be a bottom-6 guy. He has the higher potential but I don’t see him being an NHLer unless it’s in the top 6.

Greig plays hard, but does not have the physique to sustain that kind of play. Just my opinion.

Watched his AHL games last season as a 18 y/o (just turned 19 in August), really didn't look like a future bottom-6 player.

Of coure his development curve could completely stall at 19 y/o but as of right now, his potential is much higher than that. 3rd liner is pretty much his floor, a bit like it has been for Formenton for years.

Yeah that's being very high on him. I have it like that :

1- Tim Stutzle
2- Jake Sanderson
3- Josh Norris
4- Shane Pinto
5- Ridly Greig
6- Alex Formenton

I have seen several non-Ottawa fans being very high on Greig too

Yes, his main weakness right now, he really needs to get bigger/stronger

Perrault AINEC. Have never been a big fan of Greig so that obviously influences my decision.
