That's about 82% of the maximum NHL salary Colin could have received (excluding bonuses) and about 93% of the maximum AHL salary for entry-level contracts. Because the contract starts with his age-24 season, the entry-level deal had to be a one-year, two-way contract.

So how does it work -- is it pro-rated for the number of days he spends at each level? For example, if Greening played 20 games in the NHL and 60 games in the AHL, would his salary compensation be (.25)(590k) + (.75)(67.5k)?

from [senators.nhl.com]:
"We see him as someone who will be able to play a role for us down the road," said Pierre Dorion, the Senators' director of player personnel. "First of all, his size and strength are probably as good as anyone we have in our organization. He’s extremely strong on the forecheck. He’s got deceptive hands, he’s real good defensively … those are probably his strongest points."
The 6-2, 211-pound centre is expected to begin his pro career with the Binghamton Senators of the American Hockey League but Dorion said "I see him in an Ottawa Senators uniform in the near future."

I really think that Greening is going to make it in the NHL. I believe he has all the intangibles that Byron Bitz has with a bit more scoring talent and speed. I think there's always room for a gritty player who is big, can score and play responsibly in the defensive zone - and has great leadership skills. A David Clarkson (Devils) type player with fewer penalty minutes? A poor man's Dustin Brown? Ottawa is lucky to have him.

I guess if the hockey thing doesn't pan out, he'll have a nice career in street magic.

It’s always a source of pride whenever a Newfoundlander has a shot at the pros, but even more so when it’s someone with whom you have a passing association, and know to be a decent, unpretentious man.

Brian's favorite team is the Sens (go figure for someone from San Diego who now lives in Boston). He's been writing for them for a while.

His brother's geographically confusing team blog is better, I think, though.munchkin

From the ECAC website, Greening has been named an ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District 1 men’s at-large selection. When I first popped on the site I got that Yale senior defenseman Tom Dignard was picked, and I wondered "what about Greening?" Well, Greening got the no. 1 slot and it was just luck that Dignard came up first.

He also earns at-large All America Academic honors (or however it's phrased).

Colin "played well at both ends" and scored a goal in the Senators d-camp game. His team won, 4-2.

Love to see Colin in a B-Sens jersey--for me, it is a 12 mile trek to the Vets Memorial Arena.
