Good move, to be sure. Pre-concussion, Perron would have fetched more in return but this was a pretty good deal nonetheless. Aside from the salary cap benefits, I wouldn't be surprised if this deal had a little of Hitchcock's fingerprints on it. The Blues needed to get a litle bigger and a little tougher, in the corners and in front of the net.

Perron needs a new environment. By all accounts he seems like a good dude that wants to succeed. Hopefully, the Oilers will be the right fit for him.

I'm not sure about a Cup but they damn sure need to go further than the first round in 2014...

Go Blue!!
