AJ Greer a signé un contrat de 1 ans d'une valeur de 700 000 $ avec les Islanders de New York, le 21 oct. 2020. Le contrat comporte un cap hit de 700 000 $.
Good, was worried a few RFAs would get 900k payouts. Gotta keep these low for this year, our cap situation could come down to a half or a quarter million in cap space.
You think they'd alternate Greer and Ross the Boss? And surely this ends speculation that Martin will be brought back.
Martin can still easily come back. He's a fantastic locker room guy, although I agree that a Greer/Boss alternating combo would be better. Give Greer a chance to prove himself and replace Martin on the best fourth line in the league. If Martin does come back (on a cheap deal), I suspect Komarov is gone for cap and the fourth line remains intact with Johnston and Greer as scratches. I'd rather play Greer over MDC any day, although realistically we should have Bellows/Wahlstrom or maybe even give Holmstrom a quick shot this year where MDC would play, and get rid of MDC.

Bellows is another tougher guy, but can play the present day game at least.
