Maple Leafs send Gill to Penguins, forwards Belak and Kilger to Panthers

- The Toronto Maple Leafs traded defenceman Hal Gill to the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday and sent forwards Wade Belak and Chad Kilger to the Florida Panthers. The hulking six-foot-seven, 250-pound Gill has 20 points (2-18) in 63 games this season. The Penguins gave up a second-round pick in the 2008 NHL entry draft and a fifth-rounder in 2009. Earlier, the Leafs sent Belak to the Florida Panthers for a 2008 fifth-round pick. Toronto and Florida hooked up again later in the day with Kilger going to the Sunshine State for a 2008 third-round pick. Read more

these were good first moves with more to come...Im sorry to see Kilger go though.. He always played his hardest !!And we will miss Gill too,but I think its best he left because of his slow skating... we have to get faster !

Was rather taken aback by Cliff Fletcher's
comments and his inference that 'changes
would be made'---also JFJ--- who was a commentator
on NHLTV covering the proceedings mentioned
the fact McCabe's agent had been approached
for a possible trade---denied by Fletcher.
Something smells in Leafville !!!!!!
