brelic Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 http://www.cbc.ca/sports/hockey/nhl/story/2012/02/17/sp-canadiens-predators-gill.htmlThe Montreal Canadiens will have a "Geoffrion" in their lineup once again. Blake Geoffrion, the grandson of Habs legend Bernie (Boom-Boom) Geoffrion, is on his way to Montreal from Nashville along with a second-round draft pick for defenceman Hal Gill and a conditional fifth-round pick.The Habs also added minor-leaguer Robert Slaney in the trade.The 23-year-old Geoffrion appeared in 22 games for Nashville this season and had three assists.Gill is due to become an unrestricted free agent in the summer and was in high demand.The six-foot-seven defenceman had spent parts of the past two-plus seasons in Montreal and previously won a Stanley Cup with Pittsburgh in 2009.

xganarchy Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Very curious that the defensive Preds get ANOTHER dman. Is it too crazy to hope this means the Flyers are sending them some offense for Weber or Suter? hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty impressive blood lines. Brelic.---When Canadiens broke up the pairing with Subban and Gill, I think Gill was made expendable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
