Was only a matter of time until 'grittiness' was mentioned. Can we please sign someone over 6ft please? Smh

I'm sure he isn't a bad player along with a few of the other signings, but it's just the same typical uninspiring Todd signing. The rest of the league are signing a bunch of hard *******s. And Todd refuses to sign anyone over 6ft. Surely any decent coach would adapt their signing policy to mirror what is going on around the league?
Does he intend on relying on the refs to protect his players and call the right penalties? I've never seen a British ref have a good game in the past 5 years.
What a joke.
If he does surprise us and sign an enforcer/ tough guy. I actually feel sorry for the guy. He'll have to carry the burden of protecting a whole team as Matt did. However league is 10 times harder than it was when Matt played for the Flyers.

Check out his videos, he is not slow to defend a team mate, and from the looks of it can definitely throw a good punch as doesn't seem to lose many, I quite like this signing only question is his fitness after missing a year. You don't have to be tall to be à good fighter

Not afraid to go with the bigger guys in the videos. Will probably play the agitator role that fulton did but can actually check and fight

Stand alone signing this guy would probably be good but not what we need now, looks to me like we have the weakest forward line in stature and in stat wise in the league. Would have preferred this guy over Fox say.

I actually think this is quite a high caliber signing. He was no slouch in juniors so hopefully we can get the form he had there. I think this pretty much rules out Kurtz though,our forward line up is far too left handed

I quite like the look of him in terms of gritty hard hitting forward. Still need a big guy though.

At 6ft he isn't a small guy and has good stats whilst recording a few penalty minutes at the same time so I think he could become a fan favourite, in a hockey fight and this guy's been in a few reach is quite important along with balance but a man once told me something ..... it's not the size of the Lion son it's the Heart in the lion .......very true.

my only concern was when I looked on elite prospects it had him as retired so my question is how bad was his accident and injury last year, does he know he coming to a rink that has boards that do not move and has the potential with the wrong kind of hit to injury again

Forgot to say.....was a team mate of Brendan Brooks and outscored him ...... old pals act covering Todd's tail as usual, I seriously think he doesn't have a desk all these resume's are supposed to be covering.
