Contract-wise, his Value score of 89 (very good contract) weighs his output against what he costs: 50 is what that salary should buy.
A.J. Greer's story
Growing up in the Lanaudière region, A.J. Greer first drew wider attention as a youth when he took part in the 2009 Quebec International Pee-Wee Tournament. He progressed through midget hockey at Collège Esther-Blondin, helping the Phénix to a silver at the 2012 Telus Cup and scoring the championship-winning goal in the QMAAA during the 2011–12 campaign. Seeking stronger competition, he moved to the United States to attend Kimball Union Academy in New Hampshire, where he served as captain and finished a prep season among the team’s scoring leaders.
Greer began his college career with Boston University in 2014–15 as one of the youngest forwards in NCAA play. Initially slotted in a depth role, he saw his minutes increase over the season and made tangible contributions in the postseason as BU captured the Hockey East title and earned a Frozen Four berth. In 2015–16, dissatisfied with a diminished offensive role, Greer left the Terriers after 18 games and returned to Quebec, joining Rouyn-Noranda in the QMJHL. There he was placed on the top scoring line, served as an alternate captain and helped the Huskies to a league championship and a run to the Memorial Cup final.
Selected 39th overall in the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, Greer turned pro after signing a three-year entry-level deal with the Colorado Avalanche on 1 July 2016. He began in the AHL with the San Antonio Rampage, where strong early scoring led to NHL recalls and his Avalanche debut in November 2016. Over the following years his career alternated between the AHL and NHL and included several roster moves: traded to the New York Islanders in October 2020, dealt to the New Jersey Devils in April 2021, signing with the Boston Bruins in July 2022, claimed by the Calgary Flames in October 2023, and signed by the Florida Panthers in July 2024. He won the Stanley Cup with Florida in 2025 and was later traded to the Anaheim Ducks on 29 June 2026, immediately signing a four-year contract extension.
Greer’s game is defined by physicality and net-front play. He uses his size to battle along the boards and to create traffic in front of the opposition goal, combining a hard-nosed style with enough offensive instincts to contribute on scoring lines. Off the ice, his 2016–17 Yanick Dupré Memorial Award recognises notable community involvement during his AHL tenure.
