No instant Giordano-Brodie reunion yet because of injures to two LDs.

Who the hell is Grima? Lmao

You probably know him better as Wormtongue [emoji6]

6'8" - 249lbs.  Second only in PIMS (73) to Clune (89).

He does however have 27 points in 49 games at 22 years old.

Oh yeah, they do there. Not sure why in the Matthews clip it looks different. Now it just comes down to do I want to pay whatever ridiculous mark-up comes with the Bieber association.

200 - 280 oof

There are a lot of AHL tough guys that challenged him to fights, and it's really not a good idea.

Point totals don't seem like anything amazing but he's spent almost all of the season on the 4th line with no PP time.

I honestly would have guessed higher.

Does he skate like a 250 pound 6'8" guy or is he decently mobile.  That to me would be the biggest defining thing on whether he could ever play NHL minutes.  I don't hate the idea of a behemoth on the 4th line as long as the Leafs have good scoring depth on their other 3 lines.

Basically Freddie Gauthier, but with piledriver arms and the snarl to use'm. Like I don't think he will move the needle in any appreciable way, but the guy did everything the team has asked of him in development and then some. If he makes it to 4C on the Leafs, that's a win. Organizationally speaking, you want the other prospects on the team to see this sort of progress get rewarded.

Yeah, I should have mentioned that...2a of his point total on PP.

Bring him up and let Blackwell ride on his shoulders, park 'em in front of the net, both of them swinging their sticks around like helicopters.

Unstoppable.

Contract doesn't start until next season, but will hopefully be able to compete for a 4th line spot in camp.

He skates very well for a guy his size and I think he will get a shot here next year. He's not going to break any speed records. I like him and enjoy watching him play.

Haven't seem him play so only concern I see is his skating. From what I read it's ok. Love to see him centre the 4th line down the road. Also nice someone with some size and snarl hopefully added to this lineup at some point.

His skating is fine. I expected him to be a lot slower considering his size. Guy is massive. I think he could be our 4C next season.

I have watched several Marlies games, Douglas stands out, he is huge, but his skating is not a problem and he has enough of a touch to look like the Goat on Super Steroids.

Always fun to see it laid out so clearly.

This could be a tough weekend.  Play down to Montreal, then get smoked by Florida.

Went to realsports to look, and two observations:

1) The Women?s Nylander jersey is sold out, lol, the dude is popular with the ladies.

2) When worn in reverse mode, the fight strap is out there just dangling.
