This is an incredibly bad fit for Perron.

Edmonton has picked up Boston's smallest D-man in Ferrence to provide grit on defense and St. Louis's smallest gritty forward.

By Christmas both guys will be very homesick for their old teams.
Since when is 6' & ~200lb considered small? Seems kinda average to me.

Oshie, Schwartz, Sobotka, Tarasenko are all similar sized or smaller.
