Well, he’s certainly factually correct

I wonder what we were looking to trade for? Chychrn?

Looking it up on the hfboard, the Wild fans seem cool with this deal. It's an unscientific thing but here are some of the comments about Greenway.

He's had a disappointing season. Overall huge disappointment. They find him inconsistent, showing flashes, then disappearing for ten games. He has stone hands. He was never going to reach his potential in MN bc of the system. Not motivated. A considerable amount of talent but none of the toolbox to use it. Could manhandle the whole league if he wanted to but nah. Greenway is Charlie Coyle. etc. etc.

Good inference though, here ^

If teams were asking for Savoie, we were “in” on some bigger fish

Granato should learn to be less impatient!

I was hoping for Tom Wilson possibly or Greenway. I just kept it to myself because I know how people on this board feel about Wilson. 

I would take Wilson, but he probably would decline the Sabres if he can.

Isn't Bogosian up from that neck of the woods also?

Yeah, Bogo is from Massena, about 30 miles from Canton.

I love this pickup and was hoping we would land him. Big bodied defensive forward who likes to play physical. He wont show up on the score board but he's exactly what we need right now. Teach these youngins how to play a better defensive game.

That is one of my hopes.

I think we're really going to like this guy and if Granato is really a developmental guy, get this guy to hit everything that moves.

Kevyn saying Granato was the one pushing hard for this trade feels good. 
 

Contrast this to other teams where the coaches and GMs are publicly fighting lol

But he was hungry.  You should try skipping a few meals while gathering around the trade table.

And that kind of hitting is contagious.

You have been persistent on acquiring this guy.  

Yep.  When I looked at who was available with term and needed skill sets, Chychrun and Greenway were at the top of the list.  Greenway’s experience with DG really made him a clear choice for the Sabres.

How is Greenway's skating?

True you saw it yesterday from Stillman, he was hitting everyone and then you saw it from others. 

[...]

I get the impression KA and Meatballs are developing a Ruff/Reiger type of partnership, which is good. The bonus here is that KA is willing to address the physical game in more than superficial manner.

And the best part of that game, was watching the Toucan take a few big hits that ended his night early.

Let's GO!!!!!

Greenway....this is the way!

Room for improvement like all guys his size but adequate 

[CallawaySabres]

Just talked to my buddy in MN and he said that Greenway is a total marshmallow. Hopefully that changes a bit here...

Well he was skating with Foligno most of the time, then Deslauriers who took on all the heavy lifting.
