Like what?

Keep on keeping on? Do the same thing you already did?

They obviously weren't problems.

Mac will still be backing up when Sparks gets flushed from the show next year. Sure would be nice to have Polak on the third pair atm.

So that when dermott and Gardiner come back he can be waived? Sounds like they missed out on that deal forsure!

Wasn't Marincin the guy they kept up forcing them to waiv Mac?
- aminnes

They waive Mac because they kept sparks.

Not keeping Mac and Polak shows Lubeass has a lot to learn.

Ummm

It was the right decision at the time, it just didn’t work out the way we all hoped.. oh well

What way did we want it to go? HIs s% is about average, no?

(frank)ing Hedman. Cost me another goal against my goalie.

Gudbranson. Mcquaid. Polak.

Yup. Sparks deserved a shot after his great season in the AHL. Unfortunately he hasn't been impressive this year with the Leafs. I'm honestly pretty surprised he was already given an extension for next year. I guess the Leafs brain trust have more faith in him than we do.

As for Polak, I wouldn't have minded keeping him and he isn't too expensive (1.1m), but he'd probably be a healthy scratch when most of our players are healthy. I really wouldn't have minded them bringing him back though. At least in the playoffs he might've been useful to bring a bit of physicality.

When everyone is healthy, scratch Zaits or Gards when you want more toughness and play the Polak. He's fairly slow, but at least he doesn't forget how to play defense every second shift, so he'd probably defend at least as well as either of those two. Then just let his partner carry out the puck.
Partner him with Dermott and you'd have a decent pairing that can hit, defend, and Dermott is pretty good with the puck.

which means Leafs can continue to suck...

Meh. The ass I'm facing in my fantasy league playoffs has Price. Didn't want him getting a win.

Kucherov with another 4 point game... geez

Scratch gards for polak? For real?

Unless jakes is in a pine box there is no way you play polak over him. Ever.

Come on Burn, to be fair people are suggesting a lot of good ideas that maybe Dubas overlooked.





























Lol

Someone needs to tell him to cut it out.

He's making our good players look not quite as amazing as they actually are by setting such a high bar.

Babs probably wouldn't. But honestly, Gards kinda sucks. We've got other puck carriers that actually don't braincramp every other shift.

I meant Mac has performed better.. I don’t feel confident with him in net, might just be his style

Sounds like Dubas in a candid moment. In way over his head here.

I don’t think there’s a coach in the league that would play polak over gards
