Artem Anisimov for David Perron

The Columbus Blue Jackets and the Edmonton Oilers are discussing a trade centered around Artem Anisimov and David Perron. Both teams are eager to get a deal done because they are sitting at the bottom of the standings.

The Blue Jackets GM Jarmo Kekalainen and president John Davidson are familiar with Perron from their time with the St Louis Blues. The Jackets think Perron is a good fit and can add scoring to the top lines. The Oilers think Anisimov can be their second line center.
