How good is froese?
He is a role player and quiet good at it - I believe Babcock like his style of play
How good is froese?
I get it, Clune took a really stupid penalty and it could have been 2 stupid penalties in that game, but there's a bad sign buried in this. The Leafs just used an NHL contract slot on Clune merely a week ago yet he was 2 and gone with the NHL team. A similar thing is happening with Corrado not getting an opportunity to play 12 games into the season. There seems to be a developing disconnect between the person(s) making the personnel decisions and the coach of the team.
Can anyone explain to me the reason as to why the Leafs claimed Corrado, to just keep him in the pressbox?
I know that they sent him down to the Marlies for a conditioning stint, but what was the point in taking up a roster spot to get a rare chance at cracking the line-up.
It just seems everything and all decisions are made with a little more patience these days.
It's hard to do much to the the top 2 D pairings.
Marincin and Harrington have been in and out with Polak and they both are getting good looks and chances and being allowed to make mistakes and to learn. But, we could see one of them sit for Corrado and if that happens, he'll be READY, maybe more ready that situations that happened similarly in the past - because you know he's got to be chompin at the bit for the chance. This way, when he does he get a chance, he'll be hungrier (okay, that's maybe a bs theory, but, it could be true).
With Polak, he's been really pretty good the last 2 games. He's even been making moving up on the play a bit more and doing it at the right times.
If he's on the block (which assume everyone is), then, having him in the games to showcase his performance is necessary.
