Friedman: Perron did not ask Oilers for trade

Elliotte Friedman was on Edmonton’s 630 CHED on Friday afternoon.

On if David Perron asked the Oilers for a trade:

“My information is that he did not ask for a trade. But I think the Oilers had been looking to move him for awhile and I don’t think he was obviously that unhappy with the situation.

“I don’t think he asked for a trade because I think he knew the team was going to move him. But obviously being in Pittsburgh, he’s not going to complain about it.”
