Massive. So was the Kaberle trade.
Kaberle was dealt for a conditional second (Bruins won the cup with Kaberle, so the Leafs got the 2nd round pick, and dealt it to Colorado for Liles, who was dealt to Carolina for Gleason), Joe Colborne (dealt to the Flames for a 4th round pick) and a first round pick (either Stuart Percy, a solid prospect, or Tyler Biggs, a shit prospect).
But either way, Kaberle is now Gleason, a pick and a prospect that is currently developing.
Bruins got a cup with absolutely no help from Kaberle.
Kaberle was later signed by the Hurricanes in the off-season and dealt a year later to the Canadiens for Jaroslav Spacek.
If that doesn't showcase how god damn fast his value dropped off, I don't know what will.
In fact, this article is titled "Canadiens acquire what used to be Tomas Kaberle" lol
