Prospect Info: Ridly Greig (LW) 28th Overall

[Alf Silfversson]

Greig reminds me of a young Adam Deadmarsh. Very similar frame as well. He’s going to be a guy we absolutely want to keep.

They have the same listed height but I remember Deadmarsh as a more physically imposing player, while Greig is a bit more of a pest. If Greig can have a prime like Deadmarsh (minus the injury troubles) I'd be ecstatic.

I think Greig will be a huge piece of our future success as well.

I personally would like to extend a heart felt thank you, and to express my appreciation for Ridly (and Morgan Rielly of course) turning the leafs season around!

If that's what it took they're already f***ed.

And like usual, they'll never see it coming.

It has seemed to galvanize that group. I think Rielly stood up and did something none of that core group would do and its given them a real leader in that locker room. God knows none of the other guys would have. Teams can rally behind this type of thing. I dont think its an outlandish concept at all. They arent beating Boston then Florida so at the end of the day it doesnt matter but they are certainly playing better and in unison more than they were before.

That t-shirt needs to become a best-seller:

Believe I coined The Riddler for Greig a few months after he was drafted, even Methot was calling him that after the Leafs/Sens game. I need a cut of that t-shirt sales profit, will be happy with just the t-shirt lol.

He can play centre on a pinch, such a great asset for this team. Hopefully he gets Norris going on a permanent basis, they are still gelling.

 

[Sting]

I find he's cooled off a bit recently and he's gotten laid out a couple times as well. Probably good for the development in the long run to a) pick your spots and b) learn what it takes to be an impact player every game.

The one thing I like about Greig is even when he's not firing on all cylinders, he's still an effective player that doesn't take a shift off.

 

[Burrowsaurus]

Greig has been a little snake bitten as well.

Greig has been a little snake bitten as well.

One assist in his last five games - he has been ice cold. I love the guy but for someone getting healthy ice time with quality linemates, he needs to be more productive offensively...

 

[Ice-Tray]

He is a rookie though…. Consistency at the NHL level is going to be an issue.

 

[coladin]

I guess he gets his chance to be a center again

 

[Micklebot]

Yeah, he looked good at center, so that's good.

If Norris is out long term, it means we can LTIR him and get some callups, I'd expect one of Kleven or Guénette to get called up, and Crookshank maybe to take Greig's place on the wing (though Kubalik might slide up to the third line).

MacEwen also a call-up possibility, but I'm also more interested in seeing Crookshank again.

 

[Senovision]

Ridly made a couple of really huge crushing bodychecks against the Arizona Coyotes tonight.

 

[Sensmileletsgo]

Hasn’t looked as good since he got cross checked in the face by Reilly IMO. He’s a rookie though he’ll figure it out.

 

[SensHulk]

has taken a lot of dumb penalties this year…needs to clean this up

 

[Xspyrit]

Don't know if this was posted but surprised Kesler didn't get killed here.

 

[aragorn]

Greig is a skilled forward who can play C/LW, can kill penalties, be a pain in the ass to play against & contribute offensively who will only get better. Greig & Ostapchuk are the start of two good players on the 3rd line & just need a good point producing RW. Kleven & Ostapchuk are going to improve this team next season.

 

[vandelay]

A third line of greige, Ost, and a vet like ROr would be ideal. I know he's signed for 3 more but a strong defensive vet that can contribute offensively and take draws

 

[bicboi64]

I just want more empty net slappers against TML, heck even MTL

 

[BigRig4]

Think we need Greig back at C. He's been less impactful since moving to the wing.

Fallen off a bit for sure. Could be due to the move to wing. Also the rigors of a long and disappointing season are likely at play.

Hopefully he and Ostapchuk can build some chemistry to close out the season.

I'd like to see the 3 western boys on a line

Greig Ostapchuk Kelly

Could be hell to play against... No point putting Kubalik with them .
