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

Leafs add more AHL depth and injury call ups.

Ottawa Senators v Toronto Maple Leafs

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.
