kinot-1 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Canadiens acquire B. Geoffrion, R. Slaney, and 2nd round draft pick in 2012 from NSH for H. Gill and a conditional 5th round pick in 2013 I was just going to post that. we got more than I thought. Imagine, a 3rd generation Geoffrion playng for the Habs , and G-Grandson of Howie Morenz. Blake is 190# and 6'2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimdubbs Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 This is a great deal for us IMO. I was hoping to get at least a 2nd rounder for gill..good job PG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewfoundlandHab Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 I definitely didnt expect Gill to be headed to NSH, but we all knew this trade was coming. I wouldnt have been disappointed with just a second rounder. Im happy with this trade. Hopefully PG has realized we are sellers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheRatKing Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Battleship Gill has sailed. Kinda sad to see him go; I liked him, even if he hadn't been playing great as he was during the playoffs two years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwdemonwolf Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Sure Gill has made his fair share of awful plays but overall his play with the Habs have been great, especially in the playoffs. Sad to see you go Hal, but it was about time. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imagine, a 3rd generation Geoffrion playng for the Habs , and G-Grandson of Howie Morenz. Blake is 190# and 6'2. I think we did alright, but Geoffrions'numbers aren't that great 3 assists in 22 games and -2, will he ever play here? I didn't see any stats for Slaney, time will tell I guess.

Nine1One Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 What a great return. Glad to have a florida born player on the team GO FLA. Welcome to the Family Geoffrion. 4th Generation wooooot really really excited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jennifer_rocket Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 I'm really happy with the second round draft choice. I know nothing about Slaney. I'm also quite content with the acquisition of Geoffrion, although I'm not sure how he's going to pan out going forward in his NHL career. He seems to have struggled this season.

NewfoundlandHab Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 The Habs just posted videos of his 6 NHL goals prior to this season on Facebook/Twitter. Seems like all of them have come on the doorstep/low slot. Looks like he goes hard to the net Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeanCountingHab Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Pretty happy with this trade. The second round pick alone is very solid value for Hal IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick-Habs4Life Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 I would of been happy for a 3rd in return but a 2nd and some prospects...fantastic move! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nine1One Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Like I said Hal Gill got all this. I think moen can fetch a low first rounder (25-30) range maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Graeme-1 Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Great trade! The 2nd-round pick is solid return for Gill, and excellent bonus to get Boom Boom's grandson, which has that "feel-good story" potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jennifer_rocket Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Pretty happy with this trade. The second round pick alone is very solid value for Hal IMO. I would have been happy with just a second. Getting Geoffrion is extra cool. I only hope he can make the NHL soon and be a decent bottom-six contributor going forward. I'm assuming he's going to be assigned to Hamilton for the remainder of this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

31Careyprice Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Solid trade, I approve of this move. 2nd round pick, alright prospect and a crappy prospect is very good trade for Gill and a conditional 5th rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wmarcello Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Is it actually possible PG made a trade that the Habs forums almost unanimously approve of?! I'm with you guys, I was just expecting something like a 3rd rounder back for Gill. Great job PG. I wish Gill the best of luck in Nashville. I've cursed his play on more than a few occasions, but he's a likable guy (and a beast on the PK) who deserves our respect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
