Now that he's a Maple Leaf: Will the real Colin Greening please stand up.
The most important part of the Dion Phaneuf trade will be realized in the future. The biggest contract on the Leafs is gone, and decent prospect Tobias Lindberg is playing in the AHL, and he may be in the NHL one day. There's a 2017 pick in there too, to bear future fruit, but there were parts of the trade that are for right now. I'm going to look at one of the forgotten three guys who came back in the deal.
Colin Greening is 29 years-old, was drafted in the seventh round by the Ottawa Senators in 2005. He becomes a UFA in the summer of 2017.
