Glad we're giving him a chance. He's been a warrior for the Marlies these past two seasons, sporting the A on his jersey
Our defense is worse than Buffalo's lol. That last pairing especially...it's barely AHL quality.

At the start of the year we had: Phaneuf, Rielly, Franson, Robidas, Gardiner, Polak, Percy. Looked like a jogjam.
Just didn't seem like there'd be spaces for Holzer, Granberg, Mac.
I'm happy to see them though.
Is Phaneuf's hand injury legit ?
MacWilliam looked awful at camp, I havnt watched the marlies much this year - how has he been?
Also if anyone honestly thinks Holzer is better than Polak, good lord. Polak is the only solid option on the blue line right now, if the leafs do actually move him the tank will get to mcdavid levels (though ultimately I think he is better served helping rookies during the rebuild).
I agree he pinches too much but thats a small price to pay and I still think hes adapting from STL who activate their D a ton.
Love Polak's game in general, but Rielly shouldn't be cleaning up after his mistakes as often as he is. I'm not sure who's sheltering who on that pairing.
Rielly is improving Polaks game in a very large way....Polaks Possessions stats have gone up a lot.
I like parts of Polaks game.....but he thinks that he is a offensive D man and takes far to many risks offensively. He is a very hard D man to play with as he makes strange reads and will go a long way to make a hit leaving his man to others.
There's a reason ol' Guy has time to be posting on web forums these days.Isn't it exactly AHL quality, neither have been to Orlando.
Yup. No doubt Polak brings a vet presence to the pairing but...
Polak without Rielly: 42% possession
Polak with Rielly: 49% possession
Rielly is having a pretty big impact on Polak's game. It's been even more evident as of late.
Who thought signing a 37 year old to a three year deal was a good idea. Oh, right, Nonis.

The same guy they're going to let overpay for Bernier. Nothing has changed except some of the faces.
