I would put Greig on the fourth line. Smeljak- Greig- Crookshank would be hell of a fourth lineWho moves to the wing when Pinto returns? Greig, Pinto or Norris?

Don't worry, someone will get injured to solve the problem. In the exceptional situation where this doesn't happen, I think Greig moves to wing.Who moves to the wing when Pinto returns? Greig, Pinto or Norris?

Norris is a C, through and through, he isn't going to wing.Who moves to the wing when Pinto returns? Greig, Pinto or Norris?
Do you see the fourth line you propose. I prefer 4 lines that you can split the ice timeThat's insulting to Ridly Greig. I understand people like Smejkal and Crookshank but it's not even guarantied they stick in the NHL as 4th liners. Greig is the 6th or 7th best Sens forward and impacts the game both ways like Joseph does. What a waste it would be to have him on the 4th line.
Tkachuk - Norris - Giroux
Joseph - Stutzle - Batherson
Greig - Pinto - Tarasenko
Crookshank - Chartier - Kastelic
Greig and Pinto can share center responsibilities, adds a dimension to that line, can make it even harder for the opposition. Tarasenko goes full offense while the other 2 play 2-way

I would think Pinto goes to W initially but if he and Greig play together I could see them switching for strong side draws.
Greig deserves the role, IMO. He is quicker, a better playmaker, and I like his defensive zone reads. Pinto has the size and a better one-timer but I believe Greig is a better overall player.
That's not to diminish Pinto, I have just really liked Greig for a while.
I understand with no special teams. But I never see a game with out a penalty. Greig at 11 minutes to finish the year. Not that bad and probably injury would happen to someoneLet's say no special teams during the game :
All first 3 lines could play 17 minutes, the 4th line would then have 9 mins.
The 3 Top-9 lines need ice-time to produce

Completely disagree.No way. Pinto stays at C, he's a better C than Greig. Better defensively responsible. Greig always projected to be LW more than C.
Good problem to have as we can try out both and see how it goes. Seemed to work great having multiple C’s on a line. Both have reputations as being strong defensively, so that bodes well on a third line with Joseph perhaps.Completely disagree.
They may well put Pinto as C due to size but I don't see how you can possibly say Pinto is more defensively responsible.
Projections don't mean jack right now. Greig has been a more effective C than Pinto has ever been for us.
Ridley Greig's impact on the game is such that he has to be in the top 9 and paying in the 15 minute range. It would be a waste to limit his ice time and the role he can play (and thus his contributions) by putting him lower in the lineup.I understand with no special teams.

Bookmark away, if it means that much to you.The eye test and advanced metrics both show Pinto is better defensively.
Yeah, we'll see. I'm gonna bookmark this and we'll see at the end of January how it lines up.

Hmmm I don't know about that...
2022-24 On-Ice ES Pinto vs Greig
CA/60 : 56.85 vs 57.78
SA/60 : 30.95 vs 29.02
GA/60 : 3.26 vs 2.39
xGA/60 : 2.69 vs 2.38
Greig best xGA/60 among Forwards on the team since last season. His advanced stats took a hit since coming back from injury because he was rusty at first and the team has been a discombobulated mess. He also has seen a lot of Kubalik, Crookshank and Kelly recently... not that it can help
