It's interesting.
When you first look at the trade in your mind it seems like a fair return for Perron. An inconsistent top-6 winger on a decent contract fetches a plug and a late 1st in a deep draft. Seems reasonable.
Then you look at the analogy of trading your paycheck for a coin flip in getting it back in 3 years.
Makes you wonder if draft picks are overvalued in general around the league. Sure - you need them. We saw first hand what happened under Sutter when you hand them out like candy. They are absolutely building blocks. And yet there seems to be a market inefficiency when trading a guy for a 50/50 chance of recouping him in 3 years is considered fair value.
Strange.
