Another example of ignoring steady vets in favour of prospects. It's almost always a bad idea.

I think Gordon and Perron were big adds for the Oilers. They had a smart summer so far, sad to say.
But they are still a long way from being something special, they need to do something about Goaltending, and there Defense is still vary sub par. I wanted Ference back on the Flames but as a bottom pairing guy, he wasn't even a top 4 when he was 30.
