This is a very interesting take! Greenway and Gurianov are two different players. Greenway is more a power forward who is an unstoppable cannonball on the ice, wreaking havoc everywhere. Gurianov is more a skill-guy, who doesn't match Greenways physicality but makes up for that with his extremely good puck-skills.
If I'm looking for a more offensive forward, I'd take Gurianov. He fits the power-play as a dangerous shooting threat, and is a better offensive player overall. Greenway, on the other hand, has a better 200-foot game. He can be counted on to take defensive match-ups, as he has proven this year playing in a shutdown-line with Eriksson Ek and Foligno. He can also do damage on the scoresheet.
But who wins this trade? It really depends. We still don't know how good they are in their peaks. Gurianov is the more flashy player, but Greenway is more versatile. An interesting offer, for sure! Thank you for this!
