Back in 2014, which seems like some other millennium, not less than three years ago, Roman Polak was acquired by the Leafs in a summer trade with the St. Louis Blues.
The Leafs sent St. Louis Carl Gunnarsson and a pick, retained salary and got back a third pairing defender. To say the PPP reaction was hostile to the deal is an understatement.
The Leafs have sent Carl Gunnarsson AND the 94th overall pick to the St. Louis Blues for Roman Polak. Whatever goodwill Dave Nonis garnered over the past 24 hours is now gone, and we can only hope that he is fired soon.
