Don’t know much about this player but was a high draft in the OHL. I’m hoping someone can fill me in on this kid.

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Big power forward that can be described as a good skater. Very good on the forecheck intimidating opposing defenders with his relentless pressure.
Loves to get in the dirty areas and is very good in front of the net, corralling rebounds for scoring chances and annoying goalies and defenders alike.
I don’t know how good offensively he’ll be in his 16 year old OHL season but should be a key guy going forward with the Spitfires. Him and Spellacy provide an intriguing 1-2 power forward punch going forward.

Hope this helps!

Love how he has played this year for Windsor.

has 19 points in his past 18 games.

Reminds me stylistically of a young Jason Robertson.

Windsor will have a lot of graduations heading into next year so he should be given a more prominent offensive role; it‘ll be interesting to see how he produces.

Hat trick tonight. Are we looking at a high pick in the 2024 NHL draft here?

 

[GermanSpitfire]

First career OHL hat trick tonight - Greentree is really coming into his own as of late. He has been playing top-6 minutes on a pretty deep Windsor team.

Two more goals today, up to 20 on the season. Tied with Misa for the OHL rookie goal lead

 

[GermanSpitfire]

After only 2 points in his first 17 games played in the OHL - he has exploded for 32 in his last 29 games.

Very real possible he hits 30 goals as a 16 year old this season. Savards offence is very generous to him.

*shocker*

this one comes from within 10 feet of the net.

I feel like this guy is a little bit under the radar right now. He played like half the shifts of the regulars today for Canada, and was still one of the best players.

He had a very good U17 season too. I think he’ll be one of the first 5 guys picked out of the OHL in 2024.

True you gave us some great info in that first post - you clearly saw he was special from the beginning

Ranked between 24 and 30 by the various resources so far. Point total is impressive but team is struggling.

What have you seen that makes you think he'll go higher?

A closer look at Greentree and his early season success. He’s been a huge standout for me.

2024 NHL DRAFT: EARLY SEASON FAVOURITES - Ontario - Jakub Fibigr, Lukas Fischer, Ben Danford, Liam Greentree

Analyzing early season play can be difficult; perhaps even a bit of a ruse. Hot starts aren’t always sustainable and cold starts are not always indicative. However, players can still catch our attention in positive ways and that’s what this series intends to highlight.

Greentree is a monster.


He is going a lot higher than what I have seen people place him online. 6’2” players like him have NHL teams drooling.

 

[Sergei Shirokov]

Been waiting for him to get back in the lineup so I could see him play. 2G 2A is a pretty good return.

Nice shot, used his strength/reach well, showed good offensive awareness. Seems like there's lots to like here, excited to see more.

How is Will Cuyllle for a comparison? @GermanSpitfire?

How is Will Cuyllle for a comparison? @GermanSpitfire?

Both are power forwards that played for the Windsor Spitfires. Nothing against Will but he lacks the IQ, hands in tight and the anticipation that Greentree has, though Cuylle is probably the better skater and although Greentree’s shot is coming along great this season, Cuylle probably has him beat there. The best comparable for Greentree is probably James Van Reimsdyk with how good he is in front of the net and in the corners while also having the mental fortitude to do more than just be a body in front although that’s Greentree’s bread and butter.

Greentree has legitimate potential to be a top-6 powerforward that can create offense himself from time to time, I absolutely love what Cuylle brings but he is more of a passenger on the teams he’s played for.
