Polak joins Leafs on camp tryout

Roman Polak is getting another shot with the Toronto Maple Leafs.

The veteran defenseman will join the team's training camp on a professional tryout offer, Dave McCarthy of NHL.com reports.

"He understands the situation and we're delighted to have him. It's just great to have him here," Maple Leafs general manager Lou Lamoriello told McCarthy. "No promises, we'll just wait and see what transpires here in training camp."

The 31-year-old has spent part of the past three seasons with the Maple Leafs, but could have difficulty securing a spot on the squad as he returns from a devastating injury suffered during last year's playoffs.

Polak has appeared in 634 career games, registering 23 goals and 92 assists, alongside 504 penalty minutes.
