Huge news for the Penguins
Complete deal has Pitt sending a 1st in 2015 and Rob Klinkhammer to the Oilers for David Perron.

Love the move. It isn't a rental. Perron is going to be great in Pittsburgh with either Sid or Geno.
Perron is great from an analytics standpoint and he is also aesthetically fun to watch.
For the people who didn't want to trade Brandon Sutter you get your wish as well.
This first round pick is more like an early 2nd round pick given that it will more likely than not be in the 25-30 range.
Very exciting stuff.
Health remains the Penguins biggest hurdle moving forward because the roster is starting to look really good.
@felixpotvin @bookofloob Perron's scored just below a 1st line rate in EDM and now he'll play with Crosby or Malkin.
