Man i miss david perron, love that guy.

Bad trade. At the time he was the only Oiler forward that could cycle the puck with any success like a real NHL forward should. Tenacious.
Trade: Perron = Rob Klinkhammer and Griffin Reinhart

Not totally accurate! It was actually Perron for Klinkhammer and a 1st round pick (who became Mat Barzal). If you look at it that way and consider we weren't going to be contenders that year anyhow, that's actually a pretty decent trade.
It's the next deal that kills you.
Worth noting - two different GMs there too. What might have been remembered as possibly the best of MacTavish's many, many trades becomes instead remembered as one of Chiarelli's worst.
