Attack of the POLAK

Beauty

Eh, not a problem. Get some extra veteran presence on the blueline that you can easily just waive if necessary. Also potential trade deadline bait which could pay off.

Bargain insurance on the blueline.

 

[JMcLeaf]

Happy it's only 1 year. Flip him at the deadline again.

 

[MJ65]

I hope this is it for the Leafs, and no Russell

 

[LeafsNation149]

First Martin now Polak. Gotta love the toughness

The @MapleLeafs have just signed Roman Polak. Ok, back to soccer @TSNHockey

Meh 1 year deal. Honestly not that bad... but I have no idea why this was needed.

I hope this is it for the Leafs, and no Russell

Yeah i agree, well Vesey would be nice

 

[MJ65]

Traded again at the deadline for another 2nd rounder

 

[LeafChief]

He already netted us two 2nd rounders, no?

Another one would be nice.

It's not like Polak was awful when he was here. 1 year deal means we flip him again at the trade deadline.

 

[LeafsNation149]

Don't think he's getting flipped this year. Pretty sure Leafs are going to be a bubble team.

 

[Oskar The Groucho]

Wtf I really don't get this signing

 

[Nithoniniel]

Meh 1 year deal. Honestly not that bad... but I have no idea why this was needed.

Our D-men don't really look very strong on the PK, and our RD depth is bad. Polak works as a placeholder for both things.

It's not like Polak was awful when he was here. 1 year deal means we flip him again at the trade deadline.

He wasn't that great either, let's be honest.

But 1 year deal, I think that's a smart signing if the cap hit is reasonable.

Why not - trade bait at deadline and much then Russell signing
