So, Roman Polak, huh? While the rest of the league was off signing the likes of John Tavares, Paul Stastny, and Ilya Kovalchuk, GM Jim Nill and the Dallas Stars went out and hooked a 32-year-old defender formerly of the Toronto Maple Leafs.

In fact, it seemed to prompt a wave of half-baked hot takes.
