I will prefer Getzlaf over Perry any day. Flames need to start building from center out.

Feaster tried to land a 31 year old center two years back. If they still believe in the rebuilding on the fly, I can see him trying to sign Perry. It is not like they are giving up any assets if they sign a free agent. Sure it ties up a spot, but Perry plays a hard nosed 2 way game and is a premier forward. I would not mind Perry for the right price. With the new CBA, throwing Kovulchuk type contracts is out the window so it might rule out many teams.

I can actually see a team like the Flyers try for Perry. Fits their mold. And they seem to like shuffling the decks every now and then.
