Perron is miles better than Klinkhammer.

The problem for Edmonton is that Perron is not worth a good prospect or better roster player by himself and the Oilers lack prospects of quality to make up the difference. Edmonton simply can't get the kind of help they need without looking at dealing a Hall or Nugent-Hopkins. Eberle and Yakupov would get good pieces, but the Oilers seem to remain delusional about the idea that those four can carry the team in the future.
