Player Discussion Jordan Greenway, LW, Extended 2-years, $4M AAV, 5-team NTC

[Zman5778]

With his reputation as a floater

That reputation should be pretty well put to bed by now. Sure he has a game or two that he's quiet......but he's a more consistent player than he was in Minnesota.

Seems to me like Greenway and McLeod have formed a pretty solid pair when they've played together.....which makes some sense given that their skills are quite complementary.

Who's the other winger if that's the line we go with? I think since the season is off the rails, we try putting a Peterka or a Tuch on a line with them and just see what meshes.

Happy to see they were able to sign Greenway for a couple more years. What he brings, we need. 2 years is perfect.

Benson getting an extended run with those two might be nice.

People have their own motivations - maybe he likes the challenge. Maybe there is a relationship.

I'm sure opportunity and role played a big factor too. He's a solid middle 6 player here because of the heavy game he brings and how scarce that skillset is with the current players, and he also gets time on the top line line when we need to juggle the lines.

How many other clubs are offering that type of role? He'd most likely be battling for a spot in the bottom 6, if not the 4th line.

I actually really liked the Greenway - Tage - Tuch line, at least on paper. I would have given them more time to gel.
