I created some 2022 season highlight videos. Here is one for Ridly Greig::
Player Discussion Ridly Greig (LW) 28th Overall
- Thread starter LastWordArmy
- Start date
Im really hoping this kid can impress in camp and can push for a spot on the team this year.
Most likely the scenario but he looked real good in the few preseason games he had last yr im hoping he can exceed expectations this yr as well
To play the style he did in junior he will need to pack on some mass but I am curious to see how much bigger he will be at start of camp this year as opposed to last year already.
Love his compete and skill set.

He was still listed as 175 in the dev camp media guide, but I don't think they update the bios for that so it might just be numbers from last year's main camp and combine numbers.
Ya from what little I have read about the trio of rookies living together they are getting after it pretty good so packing on another 5-7lbs of muscle is doable before main camp.
Just maturing and gaining some, "man strength" and size should happen naturally.

He should stay in Belleville all year no call ups then next year compete for a spot for Ottawa.

That’s redicilous - he should play at the level his play dictates. Zero chance he’s not close to benefiting from some NHL games at some point this year.
Not really. He should play at the level that is best for his development.

Wrong. If he shows by his play in camp that he is ready to play 4th line in the NHL, he should still be sent to the AHL.

What's better 4th line garbage minutes or playing in the top six at the AHL? We used a 1st round pick on Greig who can play either on the 2nd or 3rd line. I'll rather put some useless scrub on the 4th line then waste a valuable asset.

Because he can develop more playing 18-20 mins or whatever in Belleville than he can playing 10 in Ottawa?
I don’t think this team wants its 4th line to be playing “garbage minutes”.
Having said that, everyone has to earn their minutes, and their NHL ice time, and we have a few guys in Belleville that need a good look before Grieg in my opinion.
Jarventie, Crookshank, and Sokolov all need to get the audition treatment this season.

It's going to be hard for our 4th line to get much more than 8-9 minutes, IMO.
BT - Norris - Bath: 18-19 mins each (avg)
DBC - Stü - Giroux: 18-19 mins each (avg)
Formenton - Pinto - Joseph: 13-15 mins each (avg)
That leaves about 21-30 total minutes for the 4th line guys. Not a lot of room there.

That depends on how you look at things. If he's too good for the AHL (which is something that he's shown so far he is), then playing in the bigs 10 > 20 min in the AHL.

How on earth has he shown he's too good for the AHL??? He's played 8 games and has 4 pts... Come on now this is getting absurd...

Most teams who develop younger skilled guys usually put them at best on the third line. The AHL main purpose is to develop NHL players that's it. We might as well let him get top six minutes there let him prove himself on the third line then ease him into the top six if he's good enough.
Yeah I'm expecting him to get over a ppg for him to prove he's too good for the AHL.

He almost made the big team last year. I think you'll be surprised how many games he plays in the AHL this year.
