Player Discussion Jordan Greenway, LW, Acquired via trade from Minnesota

[Snippit]

I will eat crow on him. He’s been a force and is one of our few guys who will actually use their size to create space.

Outsider fan here, if the Sabres remain outside the playoff picture, could you guys see Greenway being made available? Would love to add him for a deep playoff run. Also, has he been consistent in throwing his weight around this year?

With all due respect the Vancouver media guys who floated this in The Athletic don't know their asses from a hole in the ground. Greenway was a guy our coach and GM both specifically targeted to acquire last season and short of some bonkers offer that is such an overpay it's simply too good to pass up there's zero chance he is moved.

Nice read from Lysowski.

'One of a kind' Jordan Greenway making the most of opportunity with Sabres

Healthy and rejuvenated by a reunion with Sabres coach Don Granato, Greenway has been one of the team’s best forwards this season. He has transformed the Sabres’ penalty kill from a weakness into a strength, and he has been an important source of secondary scoring entering Friday's road game...

Hoping they can keep him, and that Wahlberg can be a clone if not more.

I said Greenway is a couple notches above being "just another guy" maybe 10 days ago.. I think that's exactly what the Sabres need though. Guys who know who they are and are willing to do exactly what they need to in order to win games.

Greenway has been doing exactly that and has been one of the bright spots this year. Happy to have him. Thanks Donnie.

Yep, guys who are slightly above average with a couple real standout traits fill out the roster of every good team.

His year here has been exactly what was hoped for when acquiring him. It's the model for future collaboration between Donnie/Kevyn as long as they're here together.

From today's press huddle -

I <3 this man. I figured he'd be 1/3 of a good shutdown line like he was in Minn, and he's doing just that. I still wonder if Ruff will trust him to move up the LU if they need to protect a lead.

I liked him filling in for Benson

I love that Jordan has found a Swiss army roll with this team. I'm not putting him on the first line but he can drift between lines 2-4 and take on almost anything asked of him.

 

[Deep Blue Metallic]

Biggest surprise of the season. He's got it in him to be a valuable role player. Just needs to keep his intensity level up.

I hope I'm not being fooled.. but more importantly I hope Adams isn't

Greenway is fine but it's amazing how overhyped guys get in Buffalo after a few good games. A 15-goal, 20-assist year would be a monster season for him. He's a nice piece, but only at the right price.

 

[TheMistyStranger]

I like Tage's line at the end.
