As per @JFresh, Greig is a developing third-liner who works hard and plays with an edge, helping to drive play in the right direction. While still refining his offensive game, he shows flashes of skill with the puck and is willing to crash the net. Most teams could use a player like him. The Senators need a player with passion as the team tries to find its way into the playoff mix.
