Good pick up. Clear upgrade on Hunt.

 

[Bounces R Way]

He fights and shoots. Plays with some balls.
don't mind it. Could certainly do worse for a 4th liner.

No idea if I've seen him play. Interesting! Looking up information now.

 

[Lunatik]

Greer was a teammate of Zaddy in Colorado and Rango in New Jersey

I don't mind this at all, actually.

 

[NinjaTurtle]

I think I tried to suggest a Lucic for Greer trade last year. Hoping to get some physical play on the 4th line from an experienced professional player.

Glad Conroy did something. With the state of the bottom 6, doing nothing at all would have been defeating.

 

[Lunatik]

Greer - Rosie - Duehr 4th line?

That could be fun

Shoot where?

It’s sad that we have to get AJ Greer

 

[Zirakzigil]

Hes a 13th forward good for 15-20 games a year. Hes not an NHL regular. Not a bad pick up though.

At the net? Where the f*** else would he shoot it lol

 

[Nanuuk]

I've no issue with this pickup. It was obvious after the Vancouver game, when Coronato got run over twice, that we need someone with balls on the team.

In a way, Looch signing in Beantown made Greer expendable. Almost a trade and our cap hit doesn't hurt as much.

Yeah, Greer doesn't seem like the type to just allow that crap to go unpunished. Definitely gotta protect our players.

 

[TheHudlinator]

Can't be worse then lucic and he is way cheaper

 

[HighLifeMan]

Hes a 13th forward good for 15-20 games a year. Hes not an NHL regular. Not a bad pick up though.

He played 61 games on the best roster in the NHL last year. He’s just a year older than Duehr who has 27 NHL games played. To say he can’t be a regular contributor seems premature.

Apparently he is a very bad shooter ….that’s what I read

 

[Boomstick]

Welcome AJ, hope you make an impact.

If he could be better than Lucic, that'd be swell.

Exactly this. The only real "fighter" we have on the team is Zadorov, and all in all, Zad is better on the ice than in the box. Duehr has had the occasional scrap, but isn't necessarily a fighter, and has a fair bit more offensive potential. Greer gives us someone who will likely be splitting time with Hunt on the 4th and the press box depending on the team, but he plays a high energy, defensive style that doesn't necessarily hurt us.

 

[Body Checker]

Greer is a guy Treliving signs for a million and change or trades a late pick for. So Conroy’s already a better GM.

Bruins fan here. AJ is a really good guy. Great f***ing teammate. Great community guy. Might pot like a few goals but dont expect anything fancy. He misses the net...a lot! However, he stands up for his teammates and doesn't take any shit. He was a self sacrificial lamb for the team. He literally took fights where you're like oh nooo. When I tell you he will fight? He will fight ANYONE. He won't win. He might get a few punches in, but prepare yourself to go "Ouch! Damn..good on ya AJ, hope your face is okay". He gets beat up a lot. But he has heart. He really does.

He'd probably would of still been on our roster had our rookies not beat him out for a spot. I wish him well. You'll never have to question his heart, that's for sure. You might get annoyed at him missing the net, but he gives a shit. I think you guys will like him a lot.

I supposed it doesn’t hurt to have guys like Greer and Hunt. Just wish we have someone in the system that can take the job with more potential than keep recycling these guys every year.

Thank you. I will support AJ definitely! He sounds like a great teammate. Hopefully he finds a good home with us.
