The Avalanche announced today that the team has signed forward AJ Greer to an entry-level contract. In the 2015 NHL Entry Draft, Greer was Colorado’s second-round pick (39th overall). The pick was part of the Ryan O’Reilly trade with the Buffalo Sabres. Greer began his career in the NCAA system with the Boston University Terriers but moved to the Rouyn-Noranda Huskies of the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League midway through the 2015-16 season. Greer is a big guy, coming in at 6’3″ and 205 pounds with room to grow. He plays a high-energy style, which led to 27 points (16g/11a) in 33 regular-season games for Rouyn and 22 points (12g/10a) in 20 playoff games.
