The Colorado Avalanche may not have one of the deepest prospect pools in the NHL, but one of the more intriguing options comes in the form of left wing A.J. Greer. Colorado picked Greer 39th overall — a pick that was part of the Ryan O’Reilly trade — in 2015.
Greer is in the second year of his three-year entry-level contract, which carries an annual average value of $825,000 but $70,000 at the AHL level. He’s had an interesting path getting to professional hockey.
