The Anaheim Ducks signed forward AJ Greer to a four-year contract with a $4.25 million average annual value and a 10-team no-trade clause, an NHL source told ESPN. Greer had just finished a two-year deal that paid him an average of $850,000 per season and was scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent on Wednesday.
The Ducks obtained the right to negotiate exclusively with Greer by trading the rights to defenseman Radko Gudas to the Florida Panthers earlier in the week.
Greer is entering his 10th NHL season after playing for the Colorado Avalanche, New Jersey Devils, Boston Bruins, Calgary Flames and Panthers. He contributed to Florida's 2025 Stanley Cup championship as a hard-hitting depth forward. In the 2025-26 season Greer recorded 17 goals and 15 assists in 78 games while averaging 12:26 of ice time and accumulating 113 penalty minutes.
Greer recorded 243 penalty minutes across his two seasons with the Panthers. He is the third member of Florida's bottom-six forwards to depart this offseason. On Tuesday the Panthers traded forwards Evan Rodrigues and Jesper Boqvist to the New Jersey Devils in a deal that brought goalie Jacob Markstrom to Florida.
