Don't know much about him, but he's American and Mike Donaghy knows his Americans

Canadian. He's from Newfoundland.

Canadian. He's from Newfoundland.

I stand corrected.

But played in the USHL and that's Donaghy's domain

Canadian. He's from Newfoundland.

Played in the USHL is the key point, he was scouted by the Hawks head scout. Hawks are taking a lot of USHL guys, which is a point to being how often they scouted and saw them.. but maybe your other scouts can get a man on the table Donaghy.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Really good pick. One of my favorite players in this draft. I had 23 on my draft board. I thought he was the best player in this draft from the USHL that doesn't play for the NTDP. I know it's difficult to use these types of comparisons, but he reminds me of a poor man's Jack Eichel. Right-handed center who skates well, has the size for the position at 6'2, good puck skills, and is a really good puck distributor. He can control the pace of the game in the offensive zone. I think he has very high upside. Wouldn't surprise me if he's eventually a top 6 center. I don't see weaknesses that are keeping him from being good, and I think he has big offensive upside. I think he was very underrated. USHL players who don't play for the NTDP often go under the radar, and he did. Should've been a first round pick.

Seems like there's a mixed bag of reviews on this guy.....

 

[AmericanDream]

Meh. Solid upside and decent floor.

Good newfie kid- there haven't been many drafted to the NHL but this current generation (Alex Newhook, Dawson Mercer, Zach Dean, Ryan Greene) are very promising.

Late '03 scoring at a point per game pace as a freshman for BU. Seems like he is one of the players who would have been part of the World Hockey Challenge had the tournament not been cancelled.

Will be interesting to track his development.

Very good freshman year so far

Just noticed that the game is also on ESPN2 (ch 209 DirecTv) at 6pm cst; i.e. ESPN+ subscription isn't needed, fwiw

F**K. Can't get away from Colby Cohen. He's doing color commentary.

Nice article on Greene here by Powers.

Blackhawks prospect breakdown: Ryan Greene finding consistency as a sophomore at BU

The Blackhawks have been impressed with Greene's play of late and are pleased with his development.

theathletic.com

I'm just gonna leave this here...

The Blackhawks appear headed towards another top-five draft pick. You’re teammates with Macklin Celebrini. What makes his game so special?

He’s just got a motor that doesn’t stop. He’s just got a bit of everything, like there’s nothing that he can’t do really. He’s so dynamic and overall, just such a good player. His skating is great, transition, he possesses pucks, he can win puck battles. He can kind of do it all. He’s been a good friend of mine so far this year, unbelievable guy, great teammate. So, I can’t say enough good about him. He’s been really fun to watch. He’s been great for us.

 

[TLEH]

Greene probably never drives the play at the next level but maybe he can be a good 3C.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

We've got a 3C playing as our best forward. Nothing wrong with being a contributor.

Goal tonight in the bean pot semis
