Ridly Greig

Edgy Dub centte-wing with strong stick-handling abilities that combine with his excellent skating, edge control, high motor and propensity to be a disturber. Does the grunt work but also has nice touch as a passer who can thread the needle through seams in traffic. Constantly poking at opposing players when the referees are occupied elsewhere. Can get off his shots quickly and accurately. Can slow down or speed up things as needed. Not the biggest player, he will use his body to separate the puck from the enemy, no matter their size. He can be a downright pain in the ass to play against. He will be asked to handle tough minutes,high percentage of defensive zone starts,against the other teams top lines in the early pro career. Can act as a pest to opposing goalies too. The NHL has already embraced its share of tough hard-nosed SOBs who can play centre and wing bring scoring with physicality. There is skill here and lots of aggressive attitude. Now, will he work on adding a lot more strength to the package?  His father, Mark Greig, is currently a Flyers amateur scout and played parts of nine NHL seasons in Philadlephia and other cities..
