More NHL Offseason: | Keith Randolph Jr. Jersey | | The locked up defenseman with a long-term contract, the club announced Wednesday. Greene, who has spent his entire NHL career with the Devils since signing as an undrafted free agent, has one-year remaining on his current contract that came with a $3 million cap hit.As is always the case, the Devils did not disclose the terms of the contract.Greene enjoyed one of the most productive seasons of his Paul Lasike Jersey eight-year career with the team with 32 points, including a career-high eight goals. He averaged 24:34 per game last season, nearly three full minutes more a game than his next closest teammate. The 31-year-old defenseman has quietly built a terrific career in the NHL as a perfect fit in New Jerseys defensively-angled system.The Devils are routinely a strong po se sion team and Greene is routinely one of the teams most effective players in that facet. His 56.3 Corsi for percentage was best among all defensemen on the team, despite the Germain Ifedi Jersey fact he was deployed primarily against top competition and saw most of his shifts start in the defensive Cairo Santos Jersey zone.After the club lost in free agency, there's even more responsibility on Greene, who will turn 32 early next season, to carry the team defensively.There is nothing really exciting of flashy about Greene, which is just how the Devils seem to like it. He is a great fit for the system and also provides some of the younger defensemen like Adam Lar son, and , who likely will be thrust into more prominent roles Montez Sweat Jersey next season, a strong defenseman to learn from. It was really no surprise to see the Devils and Greene make a mutual long-term commitment. Over 477 games with the Devils, Greene has recorded 149 points.
