Why do I trade for Perry?
1) Gets him off of Anaheim, one less POS to worry about.
2) 2 seasons back he was a 30 goal scorer. Still puts up 50 points regardless of him declining a little. Slot him next to Gaudreau and Monahan, you've got yourself a 30 goal scorer/60 point player easily.
3) 100x the player Brouwer is.
Gaudreau - Monahan - Perry
Tkachuk - Backlund - Lindholm
Bennett - Jankowski - Frolik
Klimchuk - Ryan - Shore
Lazar
Giordano - Brodie
Hanifin - Hamonic
Kulak - Stone/Andersson
UFA
Smith
Gillies (Rittich probably traded).
I put Klimchuk because I think he deserves a shot at the lineup. He's more of a bottom 6er than Mangiapane, who I feel would benefit more with another year in the AHL and compete for the middle 6 LW spot in a year. Same thing goes for Foo on the RW side. Stone would be an ideal trade too. I think Andersson won't be fully into the lineup until Stone is traded at the deadline.

Interesting lineup. I'd be interested in Perry if the price is right but what incentive would Anaheim have to give him away to a division rival, take a horrible player / contract in return and pay part of Perry's salary to boot?
Any reason we'd want him would be the same for Anaheim not wanting to give him away for next to nothing, especially to a team in their division so they'd have him playing against them so many times.
