    6’3, 203, LHD has played in 137 NHL games over the last 3 seasons all with Anaheim. Had 3G 7A for 10P in 78 games last season. 216 hits and 128 blocks as well. Averaged over 3:00 TOI per game on the PK.

    His hits and blocked shot stats have me erect
    Much prefer this type of guy as a depth D vs Victor Mete and the like

    Of all the off season acquisitions, this is one of them.

    Uh? With what money? We’re already over the cap? Not entirely sure how I’m supposed to feel about this signing, but all I feel atm is who is getting traded out due to us being over the cap

    Interesting signing. Big heavy defenseman who played some very tough minutes in Anaheim.

    I got to admit I’m really liking how Tre is going out and finding the exact players to fill the niches this team desperately needs.

    Probably was offered 2-way contracts by other teams but our ability to afford 1 ways probably was why he signed.

    Awesome! Good pick by the Leafs staff. If he can be a serviceable 3rd pairing guy who kills penalties, this is a win for our depth. Good to have size.

    @775 that is a great signing. Dude had it rough in Anaheim. He’s still young, takes a lot of d-zone starts and gives us another big body on the back end that isn’t just an enforcer.

    I’ve got a good feeling about this.

    He also fights and has fought Tom Wilson a few times so maybe with one of him or Reeves in the game (doubt both are) nobody will be taking liberties

    A young Big body who blocks, hits and fights. That’s the kind of depth you want for the playoffs when injuries arise.

    Might not become a regular for us, but taking a flyer on a youngish big physical defensive dman who may be undervalued due to playing tough minutes on an awful team is a good thing IMO.

    Connor Timmins: am I a fucking joke to you?

    Sounds like Big boi with a big stick. We need that Big D for the playoffs

    My spidey senses tell me we’ll lose him on waivers.
