He's a hot dog, individual player. Plays for the name on the back vs the crest on the front.
True or not, that is a perception of him.

Well said.

No surprise, been saying it for 10 days.
Follow the money.
Unless major Cap is headed out, no major Cap is coming in.
Greenway is largely redundant, but his $3m hit doesn't make him attractive.

The true leader of this roster isn't on it yet.
I'm ready for a blockbuster trade.

Don't say that too loud, if Adams hears that he'll sign Okposo!!!

I can almost guarantee you. You could pawn off greenway for a 3rd or 4th.

He has 1 year left of 3 mill

My point is he isn't bringing anything back of value, and likely adds very little in a package unless they retain.

Man is Edmonton an old team.
90% of their roster is 30+

Unless they plan to start Kulich or Rosen on the NHL roster, might as well keep Greenway for injury depth rather than selling him for a 3rd or 4th. We should be able to get at least that for him at TDL, if we are sellers.

players play for the name on the back.


Anyone who says “I play for the crest on the front” is giving you lip service.

He might have higher value at TDL, there are always a few teams looking for big guys for their playoff run. Also those teams that see the a player and think we can fix him, such as our coaching staff will be able to bring out that physical beast hiding in him.

While they will make another cup run adams thinks plugging in the next prospect and making the team younger every year is the answer

Oooofff

It’s addition by subtraction. He’s so slow. He doesn’t help this team

We added an entire 4th line of players that can do his role

Count me crazy, but I'd like to see Rosen and Kulich get significant time this season.

Maybe no one plays for crest on front (or shall we say the organization), but players do play for their teammates. No one goes out of their way to block a slap shot and risk injury for name recognition. You do somethings so the team wins and sometimes those things are unpleasant and under appreciated. You don't take several punches to the face and not retaliate for the name on the back, you do that for the team. Very few players are 100% team players, and very few are 100% name on the back players, most fall somewhere in between (its just matter of where).

I'm with you, let's see what they can do (and not on the 4th line).

Random bills side note

Kinkaid
Coleman
Shakir

Are all on rookie deals for the next 2-3 years. That is pretty crazy when you see the WR contracts being throw around.

Knox took a pay cut and Curtis Samuel makes like 10 mill

Addition by Subtraction = AHL version of Greenway: the Big Murr.

Its not that I don't want to see them

Neither of them should be counted on to replace a guy whos scored 92g the last 3 seasons

A cynical person might say that's exactly why they do it. If the team wins, so do they.

Did I hear in the embedded they were trying to use the 11 to get Malenstyne +

Yes that’s about right. But Murray at the ahl level has a bigger impact than what greenway does
