Gregoiresta juttua kauden 2016-2017 tietämiltä (en huomannut, oliko tämä jo täällä):
"He plays by going forward the whole time, crashing the net, and scoring dirty goals around the crease. He has solid hands and makes good use of them to deflect pucks or swat them out of the air."
"Gregoire can be an adept playmaker as well. When he’s focused on the actual hockey-playing parts of the game Gregoire is an extremely useful player, even with minimal ice time."
"Currently, the biggest issue with Gregoire is that in trying to make an impact in the lineup he’s using his hands for punching instead of for scoring. Despite standing six feet tall, he’s often the smaller combatant in the contest and ends up getting ragdolled on occasion. In fact, out of his seven fights this year, just two matchups were in his favour in terms of height. To his credit, Gregoire is pretty tough."
With the right focus, there’s more to Gregoire’s future than a fourth-line role.

Tässä toisessa ranskankielisessä jutussa kuvaillaan Gregoirea "luksusputkimieheksi" (plombier de luxe), jolla on paljon hyökkäyspotentiaalia, mutta jota valmentaja Lefebre on halunnut kuitenkin käyttää puolustavassa roolissa.
Parmi toutes les expériences qui ont été tentées pour garder à flot l’attaque du Rocket, celle d’accroître les responsabilités du choix de sixième ronde du Canadien en 2013 a été l’une des plus concluantes.

Arvioita draftin jälkeiseltä kaudelta:
"Grégoire is credited across the board as a very competitive two-way forward with a strong physical game, while again not posessing an overly large frame, he is credited to have very good strength for his size that he is very willing to employ as needed."
"His offensive skills development in the past season is also a positive sign that he is growing his tools to be a more well-rounded skater."
"...he can continue to develop towards being an effective checking-type forward at the pro level..."
"Unfortunately, Grégoire finds himself at a disadvantage in the skating department versus a number of his fellow prospects, rated as having a below-average stride as a skater upon drafting. He has reportedly improved on this mark but he is probably not a player who will ever be considered a speedster."
The last pick of the Montreal Canadiens in the 2013 NHL Draft at 176th overall and one of the latest entrants to the Top 25 under 25 list, Jeremy Gregoire's rise in the rankings has everything to do with his solid play this past season.
