Despite the contract though, it’s likely Greentree returns to the OHL next season. The forward isn’t eligible to play in the AHL next season, so assuming he doesn’t crack the Kings’ roster out of training camp, he’d return to junior hockey. If he doesn’t play at least 10 games with Los Angeles next season, his contract is also eligible to slide.
Regardless, Greentree is already one of the Kings’ most promising forward prospects, and the entry-level contract is the first step in what will hopefully be a successful tenure in Los Angeles.
