Why? Your 1st will likely take 2-3 years to develop and the Habs have been pilling up 1st rounders for years. The rebuilding is near the end and bringing in good veteran help (along with size and grit in this case) would help all the youngsters (Ribeiro, Hossa, Ryder, Perezhogin, Higgins, Kastsitsyn, Bulis, etc.) become all they can as fast as possible without the added pressure of carrying the team on their shoulders.
Getting Grier and Bondra with a deal centered around a 1st rounder is something I'd do without blinking.
