Prospect Info: Ridly Greig (LW) 28th Overall

He’s turned into a real difference maker who can probably play on any of the bottom three lines.

Best player from my point of view last game and he has been very good the last few weeks. Can't believe some people wanted to get rid of him. Still like him better at center (he won some huge face-off against the B's very easily). He is so versatile and the intensity, the grit and skill is quite a good mix, I think we still haven't seen even close to what he will be as a finish product. Another empty net slapper against the Leafs tonight would be awesome 😅

His line has been our best line as far as I'm concerned.

Obviously not as skilled but his game sorta reminds me of Alfie, he's gotta build his lower body more and he'll get even closer.

5 tool player.

Give him 2 or 3 more offseasons of building muscle and he will be even more impactful, and as he grows more comfortable his skill will begin to shine through more and more.

One thing I’ve noticed lately is how successful he’s been stopping rushes in the neutral zone and at the blue line with his active stick, just poking pucks away and stopping rushes dead in their tracks.

It’s been impressive.

He is really strong on his stick and very quick and decisive when defending the zone or battling along the boards

Big believer in this kid since junior.

Very smart and tenacious. As expected he has been up and down as a young player in the league, but his play when he was the C for Tank proved to me he had the skills to go along with his intangibles.

He can play in all situations and he will absolutely be a player to match up and frustrate the other teams best.

Can't wait to see him keep maturing and how he reacts to the playoffs.

The Riddler is in playoffs mode in recent times and has been the best forward overall since 4Nations. He has taken his role with Pinto and Amadio in stride and the trio has been the best 3rd line since Schaeffer-Fisher-Neil (the best being Arvedssin-Bonk-Hossa).

I have favourably compared to Greig to Brad Marchand in the past. Greig can be as pesky, clutch, and hopefully be somewhat close to Marchand offensively.

Very happy to see him on the team’s long term plans.

Yea imagine him with Alfredsson tree trunk legs. That's a star player.

Dylan Cozens floating around the celebration after the first win qhen he got traded....Greig glides over to him and punches him in the shoulder and says something and they both laugh. I thought That's it kid, get the new guy in.... I didn't know they played together at the WC. Duuuh me.

Still nice move by the kid.
 
Y big concern about Greig has always been that he is injury prone. Hopefully Matt Nicholls fixes that.
 
Greig & Pinto are two very good young players & Amadio with them has really helped them come into their own. Ott finally has three lines that are clicking. They need to upgrade on that 4th line & bring in some size & toughness for the playoffs.

An area of concern against the Leafs was faceoffs, we are usually pretty good in the dot, but last night they kind of sucked at it.

Leafs are one of the better teams at faceoffs and Ottawa is markedly better at home where Green can get the matchups he wants. We also have a ton of good options to choose from which bumps up the home numbers. Leafs primarily use Matthews and Tavares who are both near the top of the league.

Love Grieg SO much though. He's not elite at anything, but really good at everything. Maybe elite at being a puck hound; it's like he takes offense at the other team having the puck when he's out there.

I agree with this. It's hard to upset things too much at this point, but I think Mac needs to be back for the post season.

Highmore seemed like he was put out a lot, but must have been short shifts as his TOI wasn't crazy. Quite a bit more than the other 4th liners.
