Player Discussion Jordan Greenway, LW, Acquired via trade from Minnesota

[Dubi Doo]

He was a huge loss. The injuries definitely hurt this team quite a bit. A unique blend of players were out at once (highend scorers, defensive players, etc...). That's hard for most teams to overcome. Unfortunately, the star players playing like ass and lackluster efforts have kinda voided that excuse for me.

I will eat crow on him. He’s been a force and is one of our few guys who will actually use their size to create space.

Outsider fan here, if the Sabres remain outside the playoff picture, could you guys see Greenway being made available? Would love to add him for a deep playoff run. Also, has he been consistent in throwing his weight around this year?

With all due respect the Vancouver media guys who floated this in The Athletic don't know their asses from a hole in the ground. Greenway was a guy our coach and GM both specifically targeted to acquire last season and short of some bonkers offer that is such an overpay it's simply too good to pass up there's zero chance he is moved.

Nice read from Lysowski.

'One of a kind' Jordan Greenway making the most of opportunity with Sabres

Healthy and rejuvenated by a reunion with Sabres coach Don Granato, Greenway has been one of the team’s best forwards this season. He has transformed the Sabres’ penalty kill from a weakness into a strength, and he has been an important source of secondary scoring entering Friday's road game...

Hoping they can keep him, and that Wahlberg can be a clone if not more.

I said Greenway is a couple notches above being "just another guy" maybe 10 days ago.. I think that's exactly what the Sabres need though. Guys who know who they are and are willing to do exactly what they need to in order to win games.

Greenway has been doing exactly that and has been one of the bright spots this year. Happy to have him. Thanks Donnie.

Yep, guys who are slightly above average with a couple real standout traits fill out the roster of every good team.

His year here has been exactly what was hoped for when acquiring him. It's the model for future collaboration between Donnie/Kevyn as long as they're here together.
