Toronto Maple Leafs announce signing of Colin Greening, Chris Mueller, Vincent LoVerde

Instead of eating dinner, the Maple Leafs made some 6PM signings tonight.

First up is Colin Greening, who came to Toronto in the Dion Phanuef trade. He spent last season with the Toronto Marlies, scoring 24 points (10G, 14A) in 69 games. The 31 year old winger will most likely be on the Marlies or in the press box waiting for an injury to happen to get on the main roster. His newest contract is for one more season at $750,000.

Next up is Chris Mueller, who last played in the NHL in 2014/15 making it onto the New York Rangers roster for seven games (1G, 1A) and has played in the AHL since then, most recently with the Arizona Coyotes affiliate, the Tuscon Roadrunners, where he score 67 points (19G, 48A) in 68 games. Mueller, 31, will provide some centre depth while Frederik Gauthier recovers from his injury.  Mueller is on a two year deal worth $650,000.

Finally, Vincent LoVerde is a career minor leaguer, who played for the AHL Ontario Reign (Los Angeles Kings) the past two seasons, where he put up 20 goals, 47 assists for 67 points in 117 games. A valuable right handed defenseman, he’ll join the team on a two year, $725,000 per year deal.

These are all NHL deals, but you should expect the players to be in the AHL most of the time.

Some rich Marlies contracts:
Greening: $750,000
Mueller: $650,000
LoVerde: $725,000
