Ridly Greig

Last Season

Thirteen goals and 22 assists in 77 games — 35 points, plus-12, at 16:42 a night with 83 penalty minutes.

The Finesse Game

Better than the reputation. A hundred and eighty-six unblocked attempts with 50 per cent from inside twenty feet, median 20, and thirteen goals.

He gets to the paint and takes the punishment for being there, which is where the shot chart comes from. Twenty-two assists is a fair supporting number.

The Physical Game

Six foot even and 184 pounds, and one of the most genuinely irritating players in the league. Eighty-three penalty minutes at that size, a willingness to say and do whatever is required, and a forecheck that arrives late and hard.

He gives away thirty pounds most nights and does not adjust.

The Intangibles

Fifty-four point seven per cent of the expected goals, 86th percentile, and 52.5 per cent of the shot attempts, 78th, with the goals 45-39 in his favour.

Plus-12 on a club whose goaltending cost thirty-three goals.

Seven points in his last ten. He is 24, a twenty-eighth overall pick, and exactly the sort of player who becomes more valuable when a series tightens — small, quick, and completely unwilling to be intimidated.
