Do you want to grab the output or do you want to grab the result? You
could tweak the following:

(define-key slime-mode-map "\C-x\C-e"
  (lambda ()
    "Evaluate the expression preceding point. Copies result to kill ring."
    (interactive)
    (destructuring-bind (output results)
	(slime-eval `(swank:eval-and-grab-output ,(slime-last-expression)))
      (message "--> %S\n==> %S" output results)
      (kill-new results)
      results)))
