Perron shipped out to Edmonton for a 22 year old LW and a second round draft pick next year.

Magnus Paajarvi, another Sweede, is our new winger. They say bigger, faster, tougher and more of a go to the net guy. He was drafted 10th in 09. Much of his attraction is in POTENTIAL, a familiar phrase indeed down on Clark Street.

I wish Perron well but I am not surprised he was traded. Blues really had to do something with the current lineup and Roy/Paajarvi, while not super stars, just may be what this team needs to get the hell deep in the playoffs.

As always, for 45 years now, GO BLUE.
