Mckenzie: "Depending on who you talk to, veteran defenseman Roman Polak with the Toronto Maple Leafs could be had for the right price"

I heard Nathan Horton is on the block also.

What can we get for polak realy. Case of water bottles

 

[Gabriel426]

Imagine the Leafs manage to trade Horton for a draft pick or two. That would be something to cheer about.

 

[rdogg]

I would be okay with a 7th for Polak

I'm sure you realized that my post was sarcasm lol. But they did manage to trade Clarkson with that contract, so you never know.

 

[SeaOfBlue]

We could probably get a 2nd out of him if a team specifically likes him. Could go a long way in replacing the picks we lost for Babcock and Lou.

Maybe we get two 3rd's so we get it over with right away.

 

[Morbo]

It looks like Gunnarsson is healthy, so yeah we officially got hosed on that deal.

who do you think Babcock would rather have right now?

I know, that's why I wrote what I said. I was being sarcastic too.

Polak is good for a 3rd round. 2nd rounder is a bit of a stretch.
The way that the Ducks are falling, I have a feeling RC will be their coach before Thanksgiving.

 

[FlareKnight]

Well really, 90% of the roster is on the trading block so not much new here .

But would be nice if we could move him to a team that is desperate enough for defense to take a chance on him.

Would be surprised if the Leafs got anything less than a 2nd.

 

[Gabriel426]

Really? Is Polak or the so called depth Dman in such high demand?

 

[hotpaws]

Would be surprised if the Leafs got anything less than a 2nd.

when he can't even make our top 6 why would anyone give up a 2nd ?

we'll be lucky to get a 3rd without a dump coming back

He's not a depth defenseman. He's been scratched for like the first two games, which were among our worst defensively, and he's helped us ever since. He's not going to get you a whole bunch of goals and be able to carry the puck up the ice, but he is as good as cost-effective stay-at-home defensemen get.

he's one of the few players on the block early in the season

Polak isn't as bad as he's looked recently, he's just not a good fit for Babcock's system.

With a thoughtful trade, he can be at least as good as he was last year.

The trouble is he's a stay at home defenseman who has trouble defending.

Still, he's a RH D-man and those are generally in demand. Wouldn't be surprised to get a few mid round picks (3rd or later) for him.

 

[MapleLeaf]

I would be happy if the Leafs waived/traded Marincin & Polak and replaced them with Loov & Percy.

 

[Bullseye]

I heard Nathan Horton is on the block also.

I heard the New Kids are also on the block...

Huh?

He was equally terrible last season. Due to the fact he's terrible.

They're hanging tough. They got the right stuff

Meh ... at around 3M per year for two years, Polak was Nonis' 17 most terrible personnel decision.
