Edit: Maybe this needs it's own thread. :-\
WhatIfGodWasALeaf:
Slaney is a career AHL'er I think, Blake has some NHL upside, but is having an awful year.
Not sure I'm crazy about the deal from the Habs perspective.

I thought Geoffrion was a decent prospect. With the 2nd round pick on top of that, I think the Habs to as well as expected for Gill . In fact, I'd say better than expected because obviously, Geoffrion is going to be an instant hit among fans there.
WhatIfGodWasALeaf:
I dunno, he is 24 and has yet to make an impact as a pro, he has upside and it does take longer for big guys to develop sometimes, but he is a big question mark. I thought a playoff bund team might pony up more for Gill and a 5th.

I doubt it. The Leafs got a second for Hal Gill, what, 4 years ago? I think that's about as much as he goes for.
