Prospect Info: Jordan Greenway (LW) - BU, NCAA - 50th Overall Pick, 2015

[Minnesota]

Kid's gonna be good, y'all.

 

[Jbcraig1883]

3 Points against Canada already and still 24 minutes to go!

Kid's gonna be good, y'all.

So pumped.

 

[DC4MVP]

So....outside chance of him making 2017-18 club and good chance of him being a regular in 18-19?

I'd say no chance of making the 17-18 club... in fact I think it'd be a mistake for him to leave college after this season. He needs to stay in college at LEAST 1 more year... maybe 2... then turn pro and spend some time in the AHL.

So 19-20 is the realistic season?

I would say yeah.

I disagree with 2 more years in the NCAA though, I think the team will do everything they can to get him signed before a 4th season so he can't become a free agent.

I said 1 MAYBE 2... and yes the team will try to get him signed before the 4th season, but we've seen many players go 4 and sign with their draft team without issue as well... so I don't think the Wild would make a big deal of it.

 

[Wild11MN]

Russo said during intermission the Wild really want to sign him this summer. He specifically mentioned Greenway over any of the other guys in college.

I couldn't remember if it was Greenway they were talking about or someone else. Kinda why I thought he'd have a slim shot of making the team next season.

God he's going to be fun to watch....

My biggest concern with Greenway when we drafted him (and there's a post at the beginning of this thread to prove it) was that he has all the tools but no toolbox. I'm very happy to hear that he's taken such a positive step in his development since the draft and it's great to hear a guy like Pronman say that he'd be valued as a 1st rounder now when we got him at 50th overall.

He's clearly playing a big role for Team USA at the World Juniors which is great to see too. Glad that we're not seeing another Bulmer/Bussieres situation where their hype pretty much peaked at the draft.

Yes they Need more second round picks like Zucker and Greenway and less Bulmer/Bussieres.

 

[TwiztedHeat]

I believe you see Greenway go pro next year and play 1 year in Iowa with an outside chance of him making the roster next season. Sounds crazy, I know, but I've been really high on this kid since we took him.

 

[Engebretson]

Greenway finishes the WJC with 8 pts (3g 5a) in 7 games. Very nice to see.

Also...



JD would be Jordan's little brother who is a defenseman for UW

 

[nickschultzfan]

There is no need to rush Greenway. Give him two years in the AHL playing in the top-6. Get him a professional skating coach in the off-seasons. Having him work on his hands a bit more.

And then look out.

 

[123TripleDoge]

Dude was throwing some nice hits, as well as being a monster around the net. 6'5'' and 226 at 19 is pretty beastly

6'5" and 226 is beastly at any age!

He'll probably add another 5-10 pounds before he turns pro.

 

[Jesus comma Brodin]

I think he was the most NHL ready player in the tournament. His game is going to translate very well, imo

 

[57special]

Big difference in strength between Juniors and NHL. Bjugstad looked like a monster in college, but couldn't carry that through to the NHL. If he plays in the NHL next year I'd like to see him having a Stewart, Coyle, or Gabriel out there watching his back, because he will get challenged by some tough guys.

What surprised me about greenway was his IQ. Didn't see him making mistakes out there.

 

[gphr513]

Yeah, he kinda reminds me of Bjugstad, just in his frame. The first time you saw Bjugstad play, you knew he was gonna play in the NHL. Same impression I got from Greenway.

He's got the body for it, now we just hope that the other areas of his game develop to an NHL level, as well!

 

[PariseNation]

kid is ready to start plastering kids in the show now, imo

Imagine the Tuch-JEE-Greenway line. Thats HUUGGEE.

Two HUGE lines and one semi-small but ultra skilled line. What do we do with Zach?

 

[DC4MVP]

Slightly off topic but....

How does Bjugstad only have 2 points in 21 games this year? Playing that bad or am I missing something?
