Greig would solve a lot of problems for the Devils but I find it hard to find a Devils player that Senators would want and NJ would be willing to give up.

I don't think he is. I've always thought he projects more as a winger.

Still his ability to step in and play center is especially valuable to a team like the Sens. If Norris' shoulder gets re-injured we'll need Greig.
He is creative and skilled enough to produce offensively without having to sacrifice by being defensively responsible as a centre.

He can more consistently be F1 on the forecheck and wreak havoc without being worried about being caught on the wrong side of the puck.

He will get injured or bleed goals as the “third” defensemen as centre in his own zone trying to break up a cycle night in and night out.

Greig is built to be a winger. I see him as Tkachuk-very lite.

I don't think you could trade Greig 1 for 1 for a better player. I think his skillset is incredibly underrated and he needs time to develop.

Absolutely no reason to trade him. He should be a fixture in the top 9 for years to come.

You're going to get a lot to teams trying to throw scraps at him. Just turned 22 a few months ago, doesn't get significant PP time, and will likely produce in the 40pt range. Not outlandish to think in a couple years he'd be a 60-70 pt producer with PP time on many teams.

You are being extremely optimistic. Greig has 4 points this year and half of them are on the PP. His career high is 26 pts so saying he will be a 60-70 pt player at this stage is a bit aggressive.

I dont think Ottawa should trade him as they should give him time to develop. If he continues with his 20 something pt pace people are going to start calling him a bust. He really needs to take the next step in the next year or two as many of the players in his draft class already have.
