Toronto Maple Leafs: Cody Franson > Roman Polak

If the Toronto Maple Leafs could go after one of Cody Franson or Roman Polak, who should they choose?

Both have a history with the team, so it’s not that easy of a question to answer, in my opinion.

A quick comparison shows some similarities.

  • Around the same age
  • Both shoot right
  • Similar stature (Franson’s 6’5″ and 224 lb, while Polak’s 6’2″ and 235 lb)
  • Can play a shutdown role with a physical presence

One major difference is in regards to point production.

Franson’s produced 205 points in 527 career games, while Polak’s produced 115 points in 634 career games.
