Edmonton - July 10, 2013 - The Edmonton Oilers have acquired forward David Perron from the St. Louis Blues for forward Magnus Paajarvi and a second-round pick in the 2014 NHL Draft.
Perron, 25, and Paajarvi, 22, were both first-round picks.
Perron was taken No. 26 by the Blues in the 2007. He scored 10 goals and finished with 25 points in 48 regular-season games this past season, adding two assists in six Stanley Cup Playoff games.
Perron is a two-time 20-goal scorer who has career totals of 84 goals and 198 points in 340 regular-season games with the Blues.
Paajarvi was selected at No. 10 by the Oilers in 2009. He scored nine goals and finished with 16 points in 42 games this past season.
As a rookie in 2010-11, Paajarvi had career highs of 15 goals and 34 points in 80 games. He has career totals of 26 goals and 58 points in 163 regular-season games with the Oilers.
"Magnus is a well-rounded player who has good size and great skating ability," Blues general manager Doug Armstrong said. "He is just coming into his own and this will open up more ice time for Jaden [Schwartz] and Vladimir [Tarasenko]. I would like to thank David for his time in St. Louis and wish him well in Edmonton."
