To be honest, I would much rather have Borgman getting the minutes with the Marlies than sitting in the pressbox. With everyone healthy the final spot on the LH side was between he and Dermott, not he and Polak or Carrick. Dermott deserved the spot. The only thing Polak's return did was force them to send him down immediately.
Polak being played ahead of Carrick on the RH side is a whole other debate. I would personally rather have Carrick in the line up, but it is what it is, and ultimately whether it is Polak or Carrick, the reality is that they are our 6th D and going to get limited minutes now that we are healthy. Hopefully by the end of the season, Polak is the press-box guy, and either Carrick, Holl or a new D acquired are in that slot.
