Player Discussion Ridly Greig (LW) 28th Overall

[coladin]

Time to bump this bad boy.

Greig has been elevated to a role many thought he couldn't live up to yet he is making his line mates BETTER.

This dude is a key player for us as we prepare to go deep into the playoffs. The time he gets in this role will pay dividends down the line.

Love his awareness, his skill and his compete. Will be an absolute stud for us.

Making the Pinto noise die down is an unforeseen bonus.

I have to give credit where credit is due. He is bigger, faster, more engaged and not playing like he is just happy to be in the NHL. He is ready to contribute.

Wich team training staff is not regarded higly across the league? lol

Not sure, who is it, Sens staff get chosen a lot by hockey Canada,

Cuz we always miss the PO

Cuz we always miss the PO

Olympics aren’t during the playoffs, World junior bubbles , and world championships, theres the full gamut.

 

[GreatDayforHockey]

he is a PLAYER. What a bogus penalty call when he hit Debrincat!

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Y'all not ready to have a convo about he might be our Mike Richards.

 

[Korpse]

Ridly showing that he can play along side and compliment talented players. Not something everyone has done, I thought he looked good in the games he played along Giroux last year and he’s shown chemistry with Tarasenko.

He’s a really good facilitator. I think the three of them actually compliment eachother really well which I admit, even a genius like me didn’t predict. Joseph allows them to effectively get the puck deep and retrieve in. Greig and tarasenko can work the boards

That penalty was absolute horse shit

 

[armani]

Greig-Pinto-Tarasenko should be the 3rd line. Now.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Greig-Pinto-Tarasenko should be the 3rd line. Now.

That would be an awesome line imo

 

[Ice-Tray]

The boy can play, what a draft year. Love the hit on DBC, love the grit, love getting under Wilson’s skin, and the boy has skills.

That one on two last game was sweet stick work.

We have another good one here, I can see why management was like ‘hells no’ every time a team wanted him thrown into a deal

 

[NyQuil]

Best player for the Senators in his last game.

I'm loving his combination of speed, forechecking aggressiveness, physicality and a little bit of offense as well.

He's the model player for what a great bottom six could look like.

He's the model player for what a great bottom six could look like.

He's also a pest who finishes his checks and upsets other players who do not like to get hit. These attributes are why I like Kelly too.

It would, but don't you think his talents are watsed on the wing? I have this convo with my son at the game, watching the Detroit game from the stands, and he is just too savvy in the middle . Is it the end of the world to put him as the 4th line center?

I'd much rather have two good bottom six lines than one.

If MacEwan is out of the line-up and we can afford to have guys like Smejkal in the line-up, we could certainly roll four lines and potentially load manage our guys through the grind of the season.

I liked his brief stint at C with G last year and as Pinto replacement thus far. He is certainly capable of playing as a C.

Greig won’t get the minutes and quality linemates he is getting to play up to his potential on the 4th line though. Greig on the 4th line with any of Kelly-Chartier-Kastelic is a waste of his talent and continual development.

Reward the guy and slot him at the best AVAILABLE spot, he is an easy option to switch to C should there be injuries. Pinto has dibs on 3C. Along with Tarasenko, they can really be the best we have had since Arvedsson-Bonk-Hossa played the 3rd line role. Schaefer-Fisher-Havlat didn’t play very long together but they were also looking great back in the days.

It's most likely that they move Greig to LW when Pinto returns (if he returns) but Pinto can also play RW & a they could try a Tarasenko - Greig - Pinto line & keep Greig at C. Nice to have options.

 

[Sens Vader]

hes been fantastic

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

After recovering from injuries for quite a bit, looks like he is back on track to having Mercer like impact for us.

It was always a matter of when and not if when it came to Greig. Biggest key is for him to maintain his health. That hit on DeBrincat was a thing of beauty, and a glimpse of the impactful approach Greig can have on the game holistically.

 

[Nova Stutzlia]

If Kubalik is the one to go, then I think they could try Pinto with 9 and 19.

Ice time would be my concern

 

[Agent Zuuuub]

It's good we don't have to pick between them, but who do you guys rate higher between him and Pinto?

I think I gotta go with Greig.

Me too. Greig is a better puck carrier than Pinto.

 

[Hale The Villain]

Greig is a better fit to play with skilled players. Better puckhandler and playmaker than Pinto.

Which is why he should be shifted to LW when (hopefully not if) Pinto is signed.

He'd be the perfect guy to play alongside Norris and Batherson on the 2nd line.
