i could see them signing polak once he's healthy.

Your right burn! Maybe ,just maybe one of the rookies make the team out of camp? And Rosen could possibly be the best skater we have right now! But they'll have to see about his defensive skills?And Borgman? He apparently plays a north American style,and has a great shot,and then their's Dermott, already has the ahl experience behind him! But imho I'm betting they would Perfer to let all the dman rooks get more time in development,and sign or trade for a D-man for now?question marks for sure!

I grew to love Polak last season.

I predict they'll send Liljegren to the Marlies.

The kid isn't going to develop his NA game playing for a poop team in the SHL.

Toronto had an edge no Washington for a. It. Polak played very physical against Crosby and Malkin. Dido like him as well

Surely Rosen has the upper hand going into camp?

I want the Leafs D to be good enough that he can't make the team, but I have a soft spot for the caveman.

Polak is a good bottom pairing dman that can head up your PK. His issue was when he had to play 2nd pairing

If we stay in LTIR territory as it stands now, then with Matthews, rychel, nylander and marner – we’ll be a $4.9M in potential bonuses.

Max potential bonuses over the cap is 7.5% or $5.6M. so as it stands now, brogman or rosen won’t fit under the cap.

dermott can fit and with only $400k in bonuses, so can lilybust.....

Don't they have around ten mil LTIR if they put both Horton and Lupul on IR?

ok...

update on Jagr.
apparently he spoke with Lou - seems they agreed on the contract.
just one small condition Jagr put in - he wants the Leafs to make a deal with Ari.
So he can play on the wing of this guy.

bye bye Bozak
