Matt Greene joins Kings as pro scout

While Matt Greene may have been bought out this summer, he will remain with the Los Angeles Kings.

The former Kings blue-liner was named a pro scout by the club on Monday, the team announced.

Greene had been with Los Angeles since the 2008-09 season, aiding the club to Stanley Cup wins in 2012 and 2014. In 464 games with the Kings, he tallied 16 goals, 67 points, and 458 penalty minutes.

The Kings activated him off injured reserve in June - from a back injury suffered in January - after which the team bought out the remaining year on his contract.
