I’m starting to really wonder if polak can make a tape to tape pass. I think he only has one gear and it’s a half clapper at his intended receivers hips/head.

It’s hard watching him behind the goal line trying to make an outlet pass.

I know the Holidays are coming but I think Arizona has enough forward depth that they don't need James Yam Riemsdyk for half a season

I'm not sure why he is still in the lineup, he can't do much anymore... They have better options on D then him. (frank), even Carrick is better and I can't stand Carrick

Carrick is young and inconsistent but I think he has the tools to be a decent bottom pairing d-man in the league. He doesn't shy away from physical like some other d-men on the team.

He needs to go to the guy Grabner found for hands.

I like Carrick too but sometimes he looks like a boy trying to wrestle men.

Leivo > Leo

I'd rather see Leivo play with Kadri and Marleau/Brown

Also Carrick > Polak

Hope Babs starts scratching players who deserve it at times rather than consistently scratching Leivo.

I know it’s hate Komarov in here. It he allows Kadri and whoever’s on the other wing more freedom to play O. I also realize I’m in the minority in thinking he has value and plays great defensive hockey. I’ll say it again, he’ll be resigned.

After watching Vegas last night ( some of it ) I may become a fan, I think they’re just as good as the Leafs

i agree. i think he's doing exactly what babcock wants him to do. focus on shutting down offense from the other team's top players.

I don’t get the hate, he gets the puck to the shooters and is 1st back 90% of the time. Oh well, they’ll start clicking again soon I think. ( the team )

Matt Frattin was underrated for one main reason.

He hit ex-Leafs like a truck. Beach, Pokihansky.

When we trade away all of our young talent we need a Frattin to hit them before they inevitably score a hattrick against us every time they come back.

my only issue is he'll be 31 soon.

a lot of hard minutes on that body. i don't know if there should be another contract for him.

Agreed, i love Leo, but I can't see where he helps the team moving forward.

Sure his defensive game is good, and a great PKer, but his offense lately hasn't been anything to be happy with.

Leivo's two way game has improved, he back checks better than most of our players do I have noticed in the very little time he has played. He clearly knows he has to if he wants to keep a spot on the roster.

He can win battles in the Ozone better than Leo can, or the puck tends to always find where he is. I guess I'd just like to see him get given more of an opportunity to see what he's capable of.
