Funny but wrong. Have you watched him play?

Perron is a much better player than PRV and not soft. He's not overly physical but absolutely is not soft.

Perron is offensively gifted and capable of 60-plus points. The Oilers get a top-six winger with good offensive skills for a second-round pick and an unproven third liner - not bad.

The concussion thing is way overstated. It was from a head shot from Thornton. He has returned and been fully healthy taken many big hits. Concussions are not a concern with him.

I don't like giving up PRV but Perron is what the team needs, so good trade, I guess. If PRV develops into what he can be, the Oilers lose, but Perron is already what they need.
