Hal Gill last year was refered as the whipping boy of the Toronto fans. People called for his head everyone wanted him out. Its amazing how many people didnt like but take or leave it hes great player for the buck. He in my mind was one of the best pickups by JFJ. He is a big defenceman who is very hard to play against if your battling with him. He has had a tremendous start to the season and led the team in +/- last year and already is a plus 5 to start this year. Although Gill is not quick on his skates and does not have a great offensive ability. I like Gill and I think he is one of the most underapreciated guys on the team.
