Which brings us back to the point of the conversation which is: trading Greer is not as free and easy as some are suggesting, because replacing him is actually very difficult.
He is worth more than his contract cost.

But Greer is also worth less to a team that isn’t trying to win than a team that is. This value should ideally be exploited. If you replace Greer with Rooney does it make a difference in the Flames achieving their objectives for this year? Next year? The year after?
If the Flames were going to make the playoff and attempt to do some damage, or looked like they’d be a contending team in the near future, then yeah keep him around.
Move him now, take a shot on another Greer on next year’s waiver wire or heck even just sign him in the summer.
