-Why would Toronto do this? Hamonic at $1.5M is still much less valuable than Holl at $2M - and you're throwing in a decent prospect and a pick for that downgrade? Hamonic is a depth guy - if you want one of those, just throw a 5th rounder at Arizona for Troy Stecher, keep Holl as a perfectly acceptable RD3, and call it a day. This is terrible value for the Leafs, they're giving up way too many assets for a guy that doesn't necessarily make them better.
-Jeannot has 5 goals and 13 points in 48 GP. He scored 24 goals last year shooting 20% - so while he's been unlucky this year, sure, I can't see a world where you can expect him to get back to that level. He's probably a 10-15 goal guy when all's said and done. If you want a big smash boy to throw hits, there are plenty out there that are going to be less expensive than a 1st round pick and one of your top 5 prospects. This is just too strong a payment for a 3rd liner.
