28th Overall: Ridly Greig (C), Brandon (WHL)

Sure to be a fan favourite the moment he suits up for the Senators, Ridly Greig brings great competitiveness, grit and speed to the table and has the versatility to play up and down the lineup.

Senators Cheif Scout Trent Mann announced the selection of Greig:

A pick that won’t pay dividends immediately as Greig is still a few years away from making an impact at the NHL level, but once he adds some size to his 5’11” frame he will be a terror on the ice.

Greig accumulated 60 points in 56 games for Brandon, leading their team in points/game with a mark of 1.07 and also added 83 penalty minutes on top of it. Compared to players such as Brad Marchand and Brendan Gallagher, it shouldn’t be a surprise Greig likes to mix it up from time to time.

While Greig may not be a top offensive producer solidified in a top-six role, he most likely will contribute valuable minutes in the middle-six of the lineup, whether at centre or on the wing.

Another player added that will make the Senators tough to play against, when the team fully completes their rebuild no team will want to face them, especially in the playoffs.
