Look I get that you are the "poop player Avenger" over here, but Polak (frank)ing stinks. No amount of apologetics on his behalf will change that.




Last night was a team collapse, no two ways about it. But the poopty players still suck, even if they didn't directly cost the game. and yes, I know Polak was scratched, but the revolving door of suck includes him, Hunwick and Marincin. So it doesn't much matter which of them plays - they all are terrible hockey players

Yeah offensively he's not been great yet, it's his defensive game that is surprising me.
- daeth

He was a two-way defenseman in the K. So I'm not surprised he hasn't been Karlsson out there.

JVR Kadri Gardiner Komarov were on that game 7 team collapse
- jimi james

Notice babcockd post game interview always the same -we need to be better--broken record---my gut tells me their in tank mode(management) they just don't do anything via trades. Most of their defens are not even NHL caliber defense and yes the old core is still here komarov jvr kadri and Bozak and gardner. We have to watch this sh-t to game 80? Trade Nylander he is not always on his game. I like Matthews and Marner brown and shosh This team is not going anywhere!!! They are sub 500 Can you believe it how they where out played by canes??? And Babcock still earns $8000000?

He was basically a free #3-4 dman. That's some Taylor Hall value right there.

Have we won a game when Matthews scores more than 1?

It's all his fault.

Our defense will be changed without trading our young F core next July 1st when about 20 mill in poop contracts comes off the books...it shouldn't be that difficult to upgrade our bottom 4 D by signing 2-3 and promoting 1-2 from the farm.

Gotta keep an eye on the big picture...this season is still transition

How may points does hyman have? What a joke. Matthews
Marner Reilly Anderson brown Martin shosh -----these guys I like for there work ethic etc game to game. Outside of these guys I am not happy with what they call rebuild. 80% of defense should NOT even be in NHL

The more he scores, the less the Leafs win.

That might become a problem as his production should keep increasing over time.

I say trade him before it's too late!

Nielsen and Dermott make most chance of being there [in a couple of years] but in the meantime Leafs need to make some changes on D.

Rielly and Zaitsev should be there to stay in top 4.
Leafs need at least 2 other guys for the top4 (a left hand D to play alongside Zaitsev and a rh-d to play with Rielly).
Gardiner is expensive to have on bottom pairing / PP.
Carrick could be on 3rd pairing, but he brings similar things as Gardiner (not very good in own zone, offensively quite ok).

Seems quite obvious Leafs need to make a few trades and get an update on D; probably will cost a few out of Soshnikov, Brown, Kapanen, Gardiner, Carrick, etc..

The problem is that none of the players that you made available at the end of your comment are enough for the Leafs to make a significant upgrade on D.

If you want an upgrade on D, it's a significant player going the other way.
