The Anaheim Ducks signed newly acquired forward A.J. Greer to a new four-year, $17 million deal on Tuesday, according to multiple media reports.
Greer, who just completed a two-year deal worth a total of $1.7 million with the Florida Panthers, was the return in Monday’s trade that sent Ducks defenseman Radko Gudas to Florida. The trade gave Anaheim the exclusive rights to reach a deal with Greer before Wednesday, when he would have become an unrestricted free agent.
The new contract reportedly includes a 10-team no-trade clause for Greer, who is coming off the most productive season of his career.
The 29-year-old’s 17 goals last season for the Panthers were comfortably a career high, as many as he had in the prior three seasons combined. He also set career highs in assists (15) and points (32) while averaging his most ice time per game in a full season (12:26).
Greer has 81 career points (36 goals, 45 assists) in 326 games over nine NHL seasons with the Colorado Avalanche (2016-19), New Jersey Devils (2020-22), Boston Bruins (2022-23), Calgary Flames (2023-24) and Panthers (2024-26).
