Well the middle may be up to 3 and the edge is zero and so about 1.5km thick on average sounds right. The vast majority would end up in the Ocean. Like 97% or so of freshwater on Earth is in those two ice sheets I think. So even if you did add a little to groundwater as you are suggesting it wouldn't make a big difference.

But even if movement near the coasts in southern Greenland is increasing it is very hard to believe the whole thing melting in less than 80 years even if global warming was as great as the IPCC consensus suggests (I think it is likely to be less but still significant).
