Id rather keep Polak.
That should tell you my opinion of Marty "advanced stats" Marincin.

nothing about him is quickHopefully he walks....and quickly.

True. and I guess how quickly his man scored after the faceoff in game 6 OTJust his giveaways in the defensive zone and his lightning fast clearing attempts that sail clean over the glaas for a delay of game penalty
According to the Cap Friendly website he is set to be an RFA after this season and I hope the Leafs just let him go so he can become an UFA, because I can't remember him doing anything good when he was given a chance. Last season in the playoffs he was the reason they lost Game 1 in overtime and when they got eliminated in Game 6 in overtime.
Exactly, always remember the eyes too. That guy stinks, I don’t care what any stat says, not an NHL D man.Marty Marincin is the defining example of why the eye test should never be fully abandoned.
Looking at a spreadsheet does not show you the trainwreck that is Marty Marincin.
Fine. Hes great the majority of the time, but when he makes a mistake it is CATASTROPHIC.
Id be happy to keep him with the Marlies
So he can take away a development spot? Kick his ass out the door!
Do you think the team will bring him back next season or keep him buried in the minors? He was supposedly a good analytic player
Id rather keep Polak.

i think he can be a fine bottom pairing nhl dman, nothing wows you about him except his reach and he uses it well, maybe hes okay at boxing out and an OK skater for his size too actually. Hes not bad but not great either, he gets the gardiner treatment a lot, ie focusing on one or two mistakes and overlooking the many things he does okay-well.During my many years on HFboards, if it's something I've learned it's that super hyped players are never quite as good as they are made out to be, and whipping boys are never quite as bad as they're portrayed. After the 2017 playoffs I think the hate for Marincin reached new heights. Now, 1,5 years later he's still with Maple Leafs. So now I wonder, is/was all the hate warranted? Do you believe he will be done in the NHL after this season, or can he still carve out a few more years in the NHL in a role as a #6/#7 D, even if it's not with the Leafs? What do you think?
Thanks in advance.

He's 26 and has 182 nhl games in his name, i think he could play 300+ if given the chance,
He's actually been very steady this year, maybe the best I've seen him. He absolutely needs to be paired with someone who can move the puck though. At the very least he's a legit 5-6, and he's great at holding the blue line, probably his best attribute.During my many years on HFboards, if it's something I've learned it's that super hyped players are never quite as good as they are made out to be, and whipping boys are never quite as bad as they're portrayed.
