thats because they are filled with cement.What really confused me with Polak is how many minutes he played with the Leafs when i looked it up . The hell was Babcock thinking playing him ~18 minutes a night ? Thats top4 minutes . I didn't hate Polak playing the 13 minutes yesterday but more than that and his lack of speed really gets exposed. He looked decent shoving people down and taking people of the play but his skating looks like his skates are filled with cement.
yeah polak is like the epitome of "youre not bad enough for the ahl but youre not reeeeeeally good enough for the nhl but you stilllll can kiiiiiinda do it maaaaaybe"Oof. Had actually a good first game but my god is he slow. No way in hell he is gonna be good against the Jets. No way at all. That's why I think this Honka thing won't last too long lol he will be back when the coaching staff gets (another) look at the real Polak, who was bad all preseason long. At least Honka has an effective transition game and can pass the puck

not only does he have dad strength, but he has hairy european dad strength. he is a scary dude, but pre-teens playing house league could outskate him in a straight lineMore like "stand here and hit people and don't worry about anything else and you'll be fine", cause that's just about everything he does. To be fair, I do like his physicality and he is a beast to deal with in front of the net. Saw him lay out some guy trying to score on a wraparound. Won't get that from some of our other dmen
Scherbak & Benn for Honka ?
Weber comes back in a few months, Honka would either sit half a season or be lost on waivers at that point.
Or raised his value enough to garner a nice return from a contending team looking to bolster D for PO's...
Or played well enough to make Petry expendable...
Or...
Or...
Honka just isnt very good IMO.. Honestly i see him back in Europe sooner or later
He's better than anyone on here gives him credit for though
Naturally. And with 4 points in 40+ games last season, how dare anyone question him...
Good. Keep thinking that.We've already robbed Toronto of amazing 6/7 guys (i.e., Polak, Carrick)
we dont need any more
Good. Keep thinking that.
It'll hurt more once you find out their true colors.
Polak starting over Honka doesn’t make sense though.
According to fans of other teams, he sucks. Guess we'll keep him, close her up.
