Probably temporarily until Stephen Johns comes back from injury
The plan is for none to be in the top six. Stephen Johns has a semi-minor injury but appears about a week to ten days away. Polak played himself out of a spot in the top six to cover the injury and it was looking like Gavin Bayreuther was going to grab that #6 spot to start the year. With this trade opportunity, Nill takes it and Carrick will be #6 until Johns returns in 7-10 days.
No, I think part of the reason we're acquiring Carrick is so that we don't have to play Polak.
Honestly Polak looked pretty bad in Pre-Season. The team might not be comfortable with Polak actually playing at all outside of spot duty . Bayreuther doesn't seem ready either.
What happens when Johns is back healthy not sure. One of Polak and Carrick has to go at that point.
Yeah I agree. He is a very smart player and was the fittest guy on the Leafs in camp. Issue is that the Leafs have like 10 bottom pairing D in the organization and he would have been in the press box making too much money to start.
He's only 23, I think if the right circumstances happens and he has a chance to play some consistent minutes he will do well.
Also LOL if he goes to Dallas just to sit in the press box behind Polak another year.
