sounds like theyre prepared to go with this:
gardiner - phaneuf
reilly - polak
gleason - -----
Franson is your missing piece, that Reilly played well with. Polak on bottom pair.

While this is all a good point, the question becomes who will take Gunnar's spot? Surely Polak won't be relied on for top pairing.
Some will agree with you and say Rielly and Gardiner, but I don't think either is ready for that....
I'm sensing another move coming. Boyle? Yandle maybe?

Brendan Shanahan just confimed to me that Leafs have expressed interest in Martin Brodeur.

It's worrying that Blues fans are saying Polak really struggles breaking out of his own zone considering how ****ing bad we are for getting hemmed in for minutes at a time.
I am not saying he is/will be better than Gunnerson but at least he is not as bad as you are trying to make others believe he is. At least don't spoil someone if you don't like leafs or the player.
There is no benefit. I think we just paid a pick and retained salary to get worse for some reason.
Whilst we all knew about Gunnarsson's hip injury, I've never seen it receive so much attention then it has now. Gunnar was our best D last year with the hip injury, one of our best D the previous season with the hip injury, and the season before that. We were all aware of it but pretty much nobody brought it up because he was playing just fine and now suddenly it's a HUGE deal again. Basically people need to stop crutching on this hip injury because even while injured he was still one of our better D, I think St. Louis is perfectly fine with this as if he's good when he's apparently SO injured, he'll be even better healthy.
I didn't particularly like Gunnarsson, considered him one of the most overrated players on the team, but this is just stupid. I don't get why we had to add to the deal to land a player like Polak.
Heres an interesting tidbit

The smartest team in the NHL wanted Gunnar? Strange..
