Disagree. I get that it's nice to have vets around that set a good example, but I'd rather have the picks, and so should the org. And it's just not the one late round pick you might get for a player like Greer. It's an abundance of picks. The more picks you have, the more eventual NHLers you will end up getting from those picks. They are the lifeblood of a successful organization.
In 3-4 years Greer will probably not even be in the NHL anymore, but that pick might be a Dustin Wolf, Andrew Mangiapane or Johnny Gaudreau, etc. And the more picks you have each year, the better chance of hitting on players like that.
