Gravel adding the grit...

Ironically, Gravel needs to get smaller to turn into grit.

 

[MJ65]

Not sure how significant these signings are, look like they are just trying to stock up their farm

 

[DarkKnight]

Have to admit, Dubas pumping Holl as a legit option, resigning Marincin and now this guy who is probably worse, it’s a bit scary back there. Must be more coming because our D looks like pure ass atm.

 

[67Leafs67]

Another pickup for the Marlies along with Harpur.

 

[Brown Dog]

Took stones to make this deal.

 

[Go4soda]

Anyone who tries to drive our net with the puck, is going to run into a gravel pit.

 

[Stephen]

Do we need this porous defense?

Babcock: Give be some gud plrs or you can kick rocks!
Dubas: How about Gravel?

A poised defenseman, Gravel’s strengths are in the defensive end of the ice.

“[I’m] very happy for Gravs – it’s an exciting recall for him, and us. His teammates and the coaching staff are thrilled for him,” Stothers told Reign Insider Lindsay Czarnecki via text. “He plays a quiet, efficient, reliable game. His positioning and mobility are good, and he has a great stick. He makes plays, and the bigger the game, the better he plays. [He’s a] very coachable individual.”

O’Connell, on Gravel’s skill set:
He moves the puck very well, he looks to make the play, always looks to make a play, and that’s really where his game has really developed, as opposed to basically being a one-option player, he’s really grown his game that way. His prior to receiving the puck, his assessment of where danger is, and then making the right play after making those assessments, and it looks like he’s making all of those prior to when he gets the puck now.

Sounds like a solid bottom pairing d first player. Maybe we can tune him up?

We just need to sign Stone and some minor leaguer named grit and we could very well have a meme roster.

TRADE FOR SUBEN DUBUS!!1

Leafs can't make a single move without comments like this lol

 

[TMLeafer]

There's Gravel on this Shore.

 

[ShameOnYouZidlicky]

There’s the defensive rock we can put beside rielly

 

[Suntouchable13]

If Edmonton does not want him back then how could he help us? He is 27, don't think he will get much better. Can't complain about these league min signings, just asking what is the plan?

 

[kk87]

Gravel? Don’t like it, this guy can kick rocks

 

[DopeyFish]

Name of rock, hands of stone

 

[96]

Who?

Seriously, is this AHL?

Were you expecting us to sign Panarin? We’re literally paying these guys league min

 

[ottomaddox]

Were you expecting us to sign Panarin? We’re literally paying these guys league min

We're you expecting anything from this loaded / insulting question?

 

[ottomaddox]

This signing is the pits!!!



Was it said yet?

 

[Brown Dog]

This signing rocks!

 

[BigBlu]

A foundational piece.

 

[saffronleaf]

I'd rather have this made up imaginary guy playing for us than sissy Ceci

 

[67Cup]

There is going to be some tough competition for that number seven defenseman role!
