If Greer can be cost-controlled (commensurate 4th line salary), I'd keep him instead of trading him for picks. I think it would cost more in time and money to replace him.

What are the chances that an American player with no connection to the city or organization is going to take a cheap deal?
As good as Greer has been for a 4th liner that is all he has shown to be a 4th liner. He doesn't show to have potential to move up the line, he isn't a contributor on the PK or PP. How many games do we win/lose if we replace him with Duehr?
It has been a great story and solid pick=up but if there is a pick on the table take it and run.
