Greer (© Ed Mulholland-Imagn Images) During this past offseason, former New Jersey Devils [https://thehockeynews.com/nhl/new-jersey-devils] forward A.J. Greer signed a two-year, $1.7 million contract with the Florida Panthers. This was after the former Devil [https://news.google.com/publications/CAAqBwgKMK-q0gsw7sXpAw/sections/CAQqEAgAKgcICjCvqtILMO7F6QMwpeDfCA?hl=en-CA&gl=CA&ceid=CA%3Aen] appeared in 59 games this past season with the Calgary Flames, posting 12 points. While the Panthers bringing in Greer was more of an under-the-radar signing, he has undoubtedly been a solid depth forward for Florida. In fact, he is in the middle of having the best season of his eight-year NHL career right now. As expected, the hard-nosed Greer has provided the Panthers with plenty of physicality. In 66 games, he has a career-high 179 hits and leads the Panthers with 96 penalty minutes. However, besides making an impact with his grit, Greer has given the Panthers some decent offense in a bottom-six role. Greer, 28, has notably set new career-highs with 11 assists and 17 points this season. He has also scored six goals this campaign, tying his current career-high. When noting that the Panthers have 16 games left this season, he has a decent shot of setting this new career-high as well. Overall, Greer has been a nice piece for the Panthers this season. When noting that he only carries a $850,000 cap hit, he has been a solid bargain signing for Florida. In 10 games over two seasons with the Devils from 2020-21 to 2021-22, Greer had one goal, one assist, nine penalty minutes, and 20 hits.
