LW Ridly Greig - Ottawa Senators, NHL (2020, 28th, OTT)

[Akrapovince]

I love his swagger in his interviews too. He’s going to fit right in anywhere he goes.

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

While being arguably the best 2 way player in the league with a relentless motor and physical game.

Most underrated prospect in hockey.

Still stands true.

[Vancouver Canucks]

Yes, after watching that game, I started thinking this guy has the potential to become a good forward.

 

[Artorius Horus T]

Well Greig, 20, has been as good as advertised in the A.
of late at least

9 games
2 goals
6 assists
8 points
12 pim

2 goals, 3 assists in his last 3 games, finally has started to shoot the puck
- 10 sog in his last 3 games.

[FliegerKorps]

Officially 8 shots on net. That is impressive.

 

[Rob Brown]

Safe to assume he'll be up the rest of the season?

Nah, not yet. Give it 10 games and maybe we can talk.

Fair.

Safe to assume he'll play the two games this weekend?

Definitely.

Like DJ said, Greig is a "hockey player". He is a jack of all trades; offense, defense, tenacity, nasty, good positioning, centre, can play wing.

Remember, he was Canada's player of the game twice in 4+ games in the World Jrs in August.

He just has it. A glue guy that all good teams need. If we become a good team in a year or 2, Ridly will be a key player.

If Sanderson becomes a #1 defenseman, and Ridly becomes a top end all-around 2nd liner, our 2000 1st round could go down as an all-time draft round.

3. Stutzle
5. Sanderson
28. Greig

 

[NyQuil]

Very nice debut.

 

[devbouz12]

Safe to assume he'll pot the OT winner on Friday after Matthews gets caught deep in the ozone. Sound plausible?

 

[Bileur]

Such an interesting player. Complete buzzsaw but actually has a lot of skill and hockey IQ. Seems like the type who could still be effective even without the skill.

Bit of a weird post. Sorry for being interested in him as a player and contributing to the discussion?

Just a bit of friendly banter between rival fanbases. Don't read too much into it lol

Officially 8 shots on net. That is impressive.

I heard on radio today he’s only the third player since the start of shots-on-goal tracking to get 8+ shots in his nhl debut. I wish they told me who the first two were.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

Another point, and he looked good last night. Would have probably scored Girouxs second goal if it had not hit a foot first.

All signs point to a full time middle six player next season, and likely a guy who is hard to play against who also chips in on offense.

I get Mike Fisher vibes

 

[FliegerKorps]

Habs fan here with a wife who's a die hard sens fan lol.

Greig is a beauty. He's dynamic and attack the center of the ice. That's exactly what the sens need with the sheer offensive talent they have.

Now can you guys get a Chychrun type defenseman so we could have the two most exciting upcoming teams in the playoffs?? (Buffalo and Ottawa)

With The ermergence of Sandy and Hamonic playing well, I wonder if the sens don’t need to improve the D depth (5/6/7) moreso than the top 4. We can do better than Zaitsev, Holden, Brannstrom, but I’m happy with Sandy, Chabot, Zub, Hamonic.

I don't disagree with the analysis. However, as i happen to follow the sens almost as closely as the habs, i feel like Chabot is a decent albeit not high-end 1d and Sanderson as good as he is, still has a learning curve. Hence why a stop-gap great top4 to alleviate some of Chabot's workload and give some time to Sanderson to refine his skills would be a great addition.

Obviously, in the best case scenario you'd get a great top 4 and a decent 5 for a hypothetical playoff push but if i had to choose between the two i'd aim for the moon.

Bringing this thread back as Ridly Greig has had a great start to the season.

Receives practically no hype. 1st rounder who was Canada's player of the game twice in the WJC before getting injured.

He's been one of the Sens' best players and has excellent chemistry with Tarasenko.

5 points in 6 games, and he's an all-round player that doesn't need offence to contribute to a team, although he is producing so far. 14 points in 26 games in his career so far.

Gritty, fearless, agitator, solid defensively, good on the PK (was insane on PK for Canada).

I was laughed at here in the summer when I said Greig would have a better season than "superstar" Matthew Knies. Not guaranteeing he will for sure, but you can see it's not laughable to compare them. It may not hold up, but he's outscoring Knies who is an all-offense player that is useless to a team if he isn't scoring.

 

[gifted88]

I actually thought Knies looked good on the PK in the pre-season.

Anyway, Greig is indeed getting little hype despite the nice start. I thought he looked really good last year when playing with Giroux chemistry wise, so maybe he's just the type of player that plays off other talented players?
