Big physical forward that plays defense.... what i was asking for, so i will now shut up...LOL

The type of forward we've lacked for quite awhile.

 I'm guessing a few resident Internet GM's just went to the underwear drawer for a fresh change. 

Huh? Idk what this even means.

Lol, this probably helps them get under the cap more than anything else.  The wild are in ***** next two years.

It's not quite that exciting.

 Not to me but others used the terms Hype Train and Manlove.

Who is Jordan Greenway? Well, I don't know, let's find out together 😉

Big guy with a slightly below average shot and 'decent' straight line speed but not a good 'overall' skater (acceleration, footwork).  Can play physical.

Eventual replacement for the role Okposo plays on the team right now (skill on the ice, not in the locker room)?  At best his potential 'skill' level might be a blend of someone like if you could average out the good and the bad of 'current' Okposo with Marcus Foligno?  Someone correct me if I'm way off base here.

My bet is Okposo's, while Okposo is handling Tuch's duties.

We all like to look good. And that means changing underpants frequently. Mine have Yoda heads!

Big, big dude, good defensively too.

Young enough to stick around, 2 more years at 3 per.

Great fit as 3rd line winger, changes the mix up front nicely.

2nd is fair value. Hope it’s not the Philly pick.

 Excitement that a trade they hoped for happened. Saw his name mentioned often lately.

Solid bottom-6 addition. If he ends up on 4W we'll all be disappointed, except that he will win board battles and provide pushback. But a 3W with Feisty Krebs next season? That could be fun.

Careless PIMs worry me with this PK, but honestly, that's more of a concern for next season than the close of this season.

Krebs grows 3 inches with this guy on his wing.

Yes --- if Granato is willing to move Okposo up to the top line.

Greenway probably replaces Tuch's PK work through the end of the season.

ESPN reported it as 2023 BUF 2nd. Mid-round

Vegas pick I believe.

Uh-oh. I've gotta do more research....

[PerreaultForever]

We finally made a move................and it's actually a good one. 

This guy is a good player with plenty of grit and truculence. Thompson knows him, Granato knows him, he will fit in perfectly either playing beside Krebs on a checking line or toughening up one of the scoring lines. Worst case he fills out and upgrades one of the 4th line spots if we move on from Kyle and Girgs next year. 

Exactly (one of) the thing(s) we needed.

[Curt]

This is a good evidence that Adams/Granato do understand that the team needs a certain level of diversity of skill sets.

I think it was the vegas pick

[mjd1001]

Not sure if it has been posted yet, but for anyone interested, the videos of all the fights he has been in:

He sure is big and is willing to go at it, but he doesn't seem to do that well all the time.

Is this why we ended up with Jost, too?

I’m not sure about right now, but probably right on for next year.

Im liking the idea of pairing him with Krebs.

This does look like a good pick up
