Dallas Stars defenseman Roman Polak told a Czech website that he will do everything he can to avoid returning to the NHL this summer to complete a restarted season, while announcing he had agreed to join a Czech league team for the 2020-21 season.
"I am determined to stay at home. If I really had to finish [the season], I'd go. However, I will do everything I can to avoid it," Polak told iSport via Google Translate.
The 34-year-old defenseman played in 41 games this season for Dallas, and was a healthy scratch in eight of the final 19 games before the NHL paused its season on March 12.
