"The Rangers kicked off the first big trade of Drury's "retool" with the acquisition of Windsor Spitfires winger Liam Greentree in exchange for Artemi Panarin. It's hard to like this return, though it wasn't a surprise as I had called out in my recent piece criticizing Chris Drury that Panarin's NMC put major limitations on the return. But we move on, and we look to make the best of it."
"Liam Greentree is a big 6'3″ winger with a high skill level, excellent playmaking ability, and a very dangerous shot. Pace is the primary concern in his projection, although some scouts believe they are no longer the issue they used to be, and he has taken active steps to improve his skating ( he has worked with a skating coach). EliteProspects' draft year player comparison for him was Wild star Matt Boldy, another big, highly skilled, scoring winger who had slightly below-average skating."
The Rangers acquired Windsor Spitfires winger Liam Greentree in exchange for Artemi Panarin. Liam Greentree is a 6'3" winger with high skill, excellent playmaking, and a dangerous shot. Pace and skating are the main concerns in his projection, though he has worked with a skating coach to improve. EliteProspects compared him to Matt Boldy, a big, skilled scorer with slightly below-average skating. Greentree captained Windsor since his draft season, produced 90 points in his first year as captain, followed by a 119-point season with 24 points in 11 playoff games, and has trended around a 90-point pace this season.
