OIlers trade Lander and a draft pick to St. Louis for patrik Berglund. This way Berglund can play with perron since they have experience with each other in St. Louis.

Hall-Nug-Eberle
Perron-Berglund-Pouliot
yakupov-Gordan/Draisaitl-Purcell
Pinizzotto-Hendricks-Gazdic/Joensuu

Ference-fayne
Nikitin-Petry
Schultz-Aulie

I stated this exact trade to a friend the other day. Giving up a center prospect isn't ideal, but it's better than giving up Petry like some analysts think might be required. I had it pegged at a 2016 2nd round pick going the other way. Oilers need to restock the prospect pool after not having a 2014 2nd and 3rd round pick so hopefully STL would be alright with that. Alternatively, take out the pick and add Pitlick to bolster the Blues' bottom-6.

How about Jackman and Berglund for Petry and Gordon. Oilers upgrade center while Blues upgrade defense. M The money is not far from equal.
Jackman and Gordon are both serviceable for at least a few years while Berglund and Petry will help their new teams for many years to come. Blues are overloaded at center while Oilers have multiple defensive prospects to replace Jackman over the next few years.
Looks win/win to me.
