Ryan Strome Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Leafs need defense, no question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugor Hill Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Leafs need defense, no question. I introduce UFA Andrew Alberts to Nonis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magikal Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I like this deal for Toronto. Don't know why the Blues did it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugor Hill Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I like this deal for Toronto. Don't know why the Blues did it though. Gunnarsson is steady. In fact some say he makes Phaneuf looks better than he really is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombastik der Teutone Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Gunnarsson isnt a bad adition for the Blues too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absent Canuck Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 I would argue its a wash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RogerEpic5 Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Im not really sure if this trade was "right" for the Leafs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanTSN Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Polak is an upgrade, but I would have kept Gunnar if I were them. Too many defensemen of the same loose-goose type over there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caboose Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Pointless trade. Whatever though can't be too unhappy about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boudrias Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Polak seems to have a problem playing a full schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck Surfer Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Cut and pasted from the Leaf's board; Also right handed shot which makes me wonder what might happen to Franson. We need more Polak types than we do Franson types. My take is 237 lbs is an awfully lot of man beef, a steady stay at home crease clearer. And lets face it, the front of the Leaf's net did get abused this last year or so??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Grimes Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Not even a cap move... I think Gunnarson will do very well with the Blues; Polak as a leaf just seems like a downgrade to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 Bouwmeester - Pietrangelo Gunnarsson - Shattenkirk Leopold - Jackman I honestly didn't think the Blues defence could get any better, it just did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86Viking Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 great deal for both teams, especially for toronto. If gunner can stay healthy he will help the blues alot too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trebreh Posted June 28, 2014 Share Posted June 28, 2014 The Blues needed another defenceman with a long name lol Pietreangelo - Bouwmeester Gunnarson - Shattenkirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOMapleLaughs Posted June 29, 2014 Share Posted June 29, 2014 Kinda surprised StL did this. Perhaps he wants something like $6mil per when his contract's up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
