Confirmed with Link: [EDM/STL] David Perron for Magnus Paajarvi + 2nd '14 | Part 2

[SchultzSquared*]

Way I see it we have acquired Ray Whitney 2.0...

Whitney to age 25: 282 GP 81-105-186 (0.66 PPG)
Perron to age 25: 340 GP 84-114-198 (0.58 PPG)

Now hopefully we keep him this time around...

I doubt anyone actually thinks Paajarvi is a better goal scorer than Perron. I think someone else brought it up, but there's very little chance Paajarvi is a 12% shooter from what we have seen from him. He could be, but he is definitely shades of a 7-8% one at the moment.

From what it looks like, Perron is a good addition because he brings a little more 'tenacity' (yeah, stole it from Tencer's show ) but it's a fair point. Sounds like MacT saw a huge level of compete from him and this is without a doubt an upgrade over Magnus playing 2LW. They just need to fix the 3rd then 4th line now.

I'm just happy we finally made a trade that improved the on-ice product. Aside from the Fraser-Smyth deal where the incoming player basically traded himself, did Tambo even make one of those kinds of trades? And MacTavish did so less than a week after the start of free agency.

The trade itself, I feel is a bit of an overpay simply because of the extra salary we're taking on (or rather, we're likely to be taking on) should've been reflected more in the return we gave up. But there's no question we're walking away with the better player, and those deals have been a rarity in Edmonton the last few years.

I don't think there's any overpayment in this deal. The fact is that we got away with best player in that deal and it's more like we got Perron relatively cheap, as there's loads of 3d liners who can only skate and how many of those you can trade for player like Perron just by adding a 2nd rounder?

for everyones viewing pleasure :

I had no idea Skinner lead all LW's in takeaways this year, pretty impressive.

Looking at that list, I'm beginning to think takeaways don't really mean anything..

 

[Raab]

Love the trade, MacT starting to make moves is a good sign. And no he's not the perfect 2nd one LW but he's better then PRV probably ever will be.

 

[Oiltankjob Fail]

Looking at that list, I'm beginning to think takeaways don't really mean anything..

Really there is a lot of known defensive players on that list. And I would love for us to somehow land Kulemin would be a awesome addition to this team Imo. And the perfect 3rd line winger.

this is what we just got

 

[B A T M A N*]

Perron: 48 hits
Hall: 24 hits

And no one would call Hall soft.

this is what we just got

Fixed.

 

[WaitingForUser]

Fixed.

thanks I forgot to change it lol

 

[B A T M A N*]

Fixed.

Look at 1:01 in that video to see that we literally lost nothing by moving PRV.

 

[Paralyzer008]

Perron is either our next Patrick O'Sullivan or our next Ray Whitney

it certainly is bold.

Like I said I am not comparing players but I have seen Perron play a ton, to the guy who said I probably have never seen him play. I'm a big fan just not the type of player we need in our top 6 or as you guys put it our 2nd line LW. Although his former coach Hitchcock said on the radio today that he is better on the right side. What I meant by packaging him for a D was it would fill a greater need. We could sign a winger, but not really any good D right now. Would a team who was trying to trade a D not look at a package like MPS, a 1st, and a prospect? That's the typical player, prospect and a pick that most quality players go for. Right now the top 4 D are Schultz, Smid, Ference and Petry doesn't seem to formidable.

 

[Oil In My Veins]

Fixed.

That is exactly why I like this trade.

We got better today.

 

[shizan]

But hey, hopefully it works out. If nothing else a top 6 of Hall-Nuge-Eberle then Perron-Gagner-Yakupov will be exciting to watch.

 

[Mr Sakich]

the scary thing about this trade is that Perron might end up being oour #1 LW.

Hall had great chemistry with Yakupov late this season and i see no reason to change that. Gagner is a suitable centre for that line as his puck distribution skills are very good.

Perron - RNH - Eberle

perron has the tenacity and puck retrieval skills that this line needs. He might be a better fit than Hall. He also has excellent hands and will get a lot of golden opportunities from being on a line with RNH

 

[Vagabond]

Perron is either our next Patrick O'Sullivan or our next Ray Whitney

it certainly is bold.

I'd even be happy with a 'healthy' Mike York!

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

We were talking about this last season specifically

The numbers from last season are :

Goals per 60/m

Paajarvi: 0.71
Perron: 0.70

Fact is fact I was just pointing out numbers, I even said in the first thread that Perron is a better offensive player, you'd be crazy to not think otherwise, he had a disappointing year last year though and Paajarvi had a pretty nice stretch going... still crazy that the guy who has historically had troubles scoring goals over his career matched Perrons numbers albeit on a different team. Just felt like it was worth pointing out, that's all. Not trying to make excuses.

Assists usually come with goals attached so lets not ignore that usually important factor.

I don't know that POS as ever as good as Perron has been nor did he have the tenacity that Perron appears to.

Either of those lines could be the top line at any given time.

Hall - Gagner - Yakupov

Gagner and Yakupov have shown some chemistry and Hall is well, a beast.

 

[MCDAVIDISH]

I feel quite bold in stating that this has very little chance of happening IMO. He has a much much better talent set and work ethic. Shouldn't even be uttered in the same sentence haha, I know you're not comparing them per se but ya.

 

[sepHF]

Assists usually come with goals attached so lets not ignore that usually important factor.

Of course, of course. Like I said earlier it was cherry picked, just thought it was worth mentioning.

 

[B A T M A N*]

Perron is either our next Patrick O'Sullivan or our next Ray Whitney

Why not our next David Perron? A proven, gritty Top 6 player (on a playoff team)?

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Fixed.

There's 3 plays on there that get me excited.

1. The pass he makes on his first playoff point

2. The goal where he dangles all of the Islanders

3. THE GOAL WHERE HE BEATS SHEA WEBER PHYSICALLY, wow.

 

[StoveTopStauffer]

Our team salary is within 8m to the salary cap, either Hemsky goes for cheaper 3rd line help or we aren't buying much else. Especially of 4C is vacant.


Wrong wording.
