I studied Polak's numbers for quite awhile. Debated on keeping him or trading him. He plays a pretty physical game, and the injuries can mount up. He's definitely a good 140/140 guy with 200+ SHTOI in there, but on a defense that has a propensity for injuries, I don't know...

It was a tough move to make, but I acquired Sarich for that reason. Consistency and stability. And to open up another option or two.

In less than a years time Smith will be worth way more than Polak+McClement trust me dude.
