As old as the article is, it is really great to see hindsight 20/20.
In 2003, we didn't know what the true potential of Perry was. In 2014, we realize he is one of the consistent and dominant players in the NHL today. Mike Comrie was not. As Flames fans, we can see that this was a HUUUUGE piece contributing to how bad the Oilers are today. Having Perry and a 1st at that point could have changed the whole dynamic and prevented the landslide that they experienced for the last 8 years.
