I like 1st rd picks...Perron is a decent player but his head injuries are worrisome and his overall game is not very strong.

Late first round picks are the most overrated assets in hockey.
Perron will probably explode offensively just like everyone else who is put on Crosby or Malkin's wing. And for a team that is clearly in win-now mode like Pittsburgh, giving up a first round pick in the 23-26 range isn't a big price to pay.

Good deal for the pens as it addresses a need. The pens also have had extra first round picks recently. This deal won't hurt them in the future. Perron is also young and signed to a good contract for next season,

Would you have traded Michael MacCarron for David Perron? Or Kyle Chipchura? Or David Fischer, Leblanc, Tinordi, Beaulieu?
We only have one really good mid to late first round picks in the last 15 years. While Scherbak looks really, really good right now, there's no guarantee he makes it to the NHL. He wouldn't be the first or the last to look awesome in Junior and stumble at the pro level, even though I doubt that'll be the case for him.
TBD: MacCarron, Scherbak
Good: Pacioretty,
Ok: Tinordi, Beaulieu
Bust: Leblanc, Fischer, Chipchura,
And that's with one of the best scouting staffs in the league. So yeah, I would definitely have traded a late first for a 26 year old established player who at the very worst gets ~20 goals & 45 points per year.

An in-depth view on late first round picks... History has shown that picks 20-25 gives you a ~20% shot at a top-4 d-man or top-6 forward. Later than that, it's even a smaller shot.

The dude is seriously gifted offensively (though porous defensively), with Crosby, he transforms into a sniper.

5 on 3 goal. I'm sure they will score on a 5 on 2 goal soon enough. Refs didnt like the leafs losing.
