Player Discussion Ridly Greig (LW) 28th Overall

[Alf Silfversson]

Peca was a freaking stud prior to Tucker targeting his knee. If Greig becomes a similar player we are laughing. Loved him in Buffalo.

Peca had some moderate success but he was never the same after the Tucker cheap shot in 2002.

Funnily enough I know someone who had Peca as a client and was watching Game 5 of the Leafs and Sens that same year with him. Peca, apparently, was cheering and hooting when Alfie destroyed Tucker and scored the winning goal.

Mike Peca as a comparison from Chummy. Gotta like it!

Thought he said Matthew Peca lol. Woulda been disappointing, but Mike would be dope.

 

[God Says No]

So let's just say Greig is going to be somewhere between Matthew and Mike.

Works for me that's for sure! Getting a solid middle 6 player late in the first round is a good pick.

I think most would look back on Peca's career and credit him with a bit more than "moderate success"

The moderate success was after the Tucker hit. Ambiguous language there.

His career was super successful.

He was the JGP of that generation lol

Maybe a rich man’s version. Peca was better offensively, defensively, a bigger hitter (far dirtier as well) and got league recognition with his 2 Selkes.

Winning an award that requires league wide recognition as a Buffalo Sabre isn’t easy.

Peca also played world juniors and won an Olympic gold medal.

There's no comparing his career with Pageau even though Pageau is responsible for some of our greatest memories as Sens fans

The Sabres had some really good teams back then ,but for sure maybe JGP should be considered Peca light

 

[Ice-Tray]

I hated Peca so much back in the day! A testimony to how frustratingly good he was a shutting us down.

 

[SlapJack]

Peca was awesome, but I remember him being helped by Hasek a bit. Hasek was so damn good that Peca would be cheating on the penalty kill to get shorthanded breakaways. If you saw anyone doing that now, they'd be benched.

Played on Canada as the 4th line C in a best on best. Much better than Pageau. I dont expect Grieg to be that good but stylistically i like the comparison. If Greig is as good as Pageau thats also an amazing pick.

[YouGotAStuGoing]

Ridly Greig's gonna be special, man.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Now ya'll see why I said he could end up being the best between he, Norris and Pinto.

Special factor this guy has.

 

[Sun God Nika]

Been getting Giroux vibes since draft night for him.

 

[Sensinitis]

White must be getting antsy seeing Norris, Pinto and Greig impressing this much

 

[Senscore]

Did he deliver a dirty shot? Sure, but Dubois should have known who he was stepping to.

and if he didn't, he does now lol. Greig putting the league on notice. he aint playing around

 

[armani]

With controlled aggression, The Riddler would be a beauty for the Sens. Sky is the limit, can't wait to follow his growth as a legit top-6 prospect.

Nah, he secured the bag already. You can tell he mailed it in.

Plus White has impeccable good guy vibes. All the guys seem to like him. He’s probably too excited for them to worry about himself.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Norris pinto white greig down the middle is very feel good energy.

 

[aragorn]

Maybe this is why the Sens didn't draft Sillinger because they already drafted Greig the yr before & expected this guy would be a centre in Ottawa some day & probably as good.
