Why the #$/& did we sign Polak

 

[Dallasman]

I like the term on Khoudobin’s deal.

Polak signing is out of nowhere.

 

[Satan]

I want off this ride

 

[Dallasman]

Meh, Polak is depth. Not going to lose it over that signing.

 

[Magic Mittens]

I want off this ride

Why did you even get on?

 

[jballa95]

At least Polak's deal is only for one year. Hopefully his job is to eat the peanuts in the press box.

 

[Satan]

Why did you even get on?

I was tall enough to ride and it looked kinda fun

 

[Magic Mittens]

Just realized Polak is 32, honestly thought he was 38

He does hit and block a ton of shots, but hes slow

 

[Satan]

1 yr deal with Polak

It’s like the Gonchar thing but Gonchar was actually a good defenseman at one point in time

No I think the Gonchar signing was much worse. It was a 2 year deal for 5 Mil each year. The only thing Gonchar ever did was take Zubov's record.

Carter Hutton cost a year and 250k more than Khudobin

Interesting

 

[MrHeiskanen]

Polak made 1.1 last year.. so if it's around there it's a good signing I guess.. so long as he is a #7.

Id rather Polak than Heatherington for sure. Heater looked awful in Calder Finals.

He’s going to start in Buffalo. Wouldn’t do that here.

I'm guessing Heiskanen is playing on the left side, unless the plan always was. Klingberg, Johns, Polak and Honka on the right

Lindell - Klingberg
Methot - Johns
Heiskanen - Polak

Or

Methot - Honka
Heiskanen - Johns

Heiskanen - Johns

Lindell - Kling

Heiskanen - Johns

Seems to make the most sense.

 

[Satan]

Apparently Stastny to vgk which is better than him to wpg

 

[Magic Mittens]

Lindell - Kling
Methot - Honka
Heiskanen - Johns

Totally agree, but Honka hasn't made anything yet, guessing that's why we signed Romie My Homie Pol Diggity Dogg

 

[Satan]

Having Methot and Polak on the backend is truly a nightmare situation.

 

[serp]

Polak as a #7 ? Meh could be worse. Not really sure why though but as long as its cheap whatever.

 

[Troy McClure]

It's hard to say if Polak is replscing Pateryn or Hamhuis at this point. I guess we will find out pretty quickly if they've given up on Honka

 

[txomisc]

Geez I hope Polak sees the ice very little.

 

[txomisc]

I'm not sure Nill has any idea what he is doing at this point.

 

[Satan]

Last year the leafs signed him to a PTO then formally in October

This isn’t a guy you waste your time courting in the early parts of free agency. There’s plenty of Roman Polaks available in August

 

[BfantZ]

Big solid right handed stay at home defensive dman . Poor mans Chris Tanev . I don’t see any issue with the signing unless it’s expensive .
