Bourque's ceiling is a 4th line energy guy with stone hands. I would much rather see what Greer can do in the big leagues because he could actually become something someday. Let's not let a little winning streak make us forget that this is still a development year, and Greer's now spent 1.5 seasons in the AHL. Time to see if he can make an impact in the NHL over the course of the next couple weeks.
Greer was good against the Stars. Problems were lack of ice time and linemates who weren't thinking as fast as him. Nevertheless, more time in the AHL wouldn't hurt.All Greer has shown me is that more time in the AHL will be best for his development.
Wilson is the guy driving offense on that line, IMO. Bourque is a good defensive forward but he contributes very, very little in the offensive zone.That is true but Greer isn't really getting any minutes up here, and I would rather him getting minutes in the A. Plus he hasn't done anything with the minutes he has been given, other than try to beat up Dubnyk and Foligno (which I appreciate a ton!). Bourque is working well with Wilson and Jost right now and that line is creating stuff which I think Bourque deserves some credit for because he is working his ass off.
Aw geez.Listening to Keefe and Moser on his radio show and they'e trying to come up with a forced nickname for Mack. I wouldn' be surprised to hear Keefe and Ryker refer to him as the cobra all week.

This is surprising to read because he looked a lot faster last season. He looks real slow this season. Must have taken advice from the same person that told Nathan MacKinnon he needed to bulk up after his rookie season.Greer is faster than I thought he'd be.
tbf I'm basing this on absolutely nothing despite him being really fast entering the zone last night. I don't actually know anything about hockey.This is surprising to read because he looked a lot faster last season. He looks real slow this season. Must have taken advice from the same person that told Nathan MacKinnon he needed to bulk up after his rookie season.

Might not be the worst thing in the world.Compher replacing Jost as healthy gives the Avs 12 healthy forwards, which is what they’ve been rolling with. Makes me wonder if Toni is replacing someone like Yak.

He's looked slow in a majority of the games he's played this season.He looked slow against Dallas, but was fine against the Ducks.
Jost needs to add weight and strength in the off season. He gets ragdolled and knocked off the puck to frequently by larger opponents.From what I hear it is a precautionary move in case Jost won't be ready to go.
Greer is faster than I thought he'd be.
