Yuck.

Brazz · 02-26-2008, 01:37 PM

what JFJ didn't sign Hal Gill to a NMC.

Zags91 · 02-26-2008, 01:37 PM

Would be nice to get a D-man that can hit besides Orpik.

Phaneufed · 02-26-2008, 01:38 PM

Good, finally a salary dump by the Leafs.

He can also kills seconds on a stop watch w/ his skating ability... I don't think he fits the Pens system...

There's only one 66 · 02-26-2008, 01:39 PM

Please don't do this Shero.....

Gill is a softy.

zeke · 02-26-2008, 01:40 PM

Gill's a solid Dman on a decent contract - he's a solid addition for the Pens, who really need some help on the backend. He'll probably slot in as the #4 defenseman for them.

As for the Leafs, with Colaiacovo healthy, Gill doesn't fit in the top-4 anymore, and it's not a good idea to be spending 2 mil on a bottom pair defender.

Hopefully the Leafs can manage to get a 2nd rounder for him.

Luigi Lemieux · 02-26-2008, 01:41 PM

is he at least good on the pk? i don't see how he can keep up with the rest of the team given his skating ability.

Classic case of barking up the wrong tree.

#1GuinFan · 02-26-2008, 01:42 PM

Then you might want to keep looking. Gill is not your guy.

**x eric x** · 02-26-2008, 01:43 PM

bad for the Pens

He'll probably be on your first PK unit.

if he doesn't fit in the leafs top 4, a team that has given up 200 goals, im wondering how he helps the pens.

TravisUlrich · 02-26-2008, 01:44 PM

Wow! I'd like this a lot! (as a Pens fan)

smetana · 02-26-2008, 01:45 PM

I'd rather we do nothing at all than make this deal.

Bad Ray. Bad.

I would rather him trade for Todd Gill than Hal Gill.

Skk82 · 02-26-2008, 01:49 PM

I'd like this too, Gill blocks a ton of shots and though he has his faults he can kill penalties.

The Penguins are using Gonchar, Scuderi and Whitney as their top 3 PK defenseman. That needs an improvement.
