I would do this. Ducks wouldn't. They dont need Bishop at all.
That is probably one of the best deals that Anaheim could get for Perry. Michalek and Da Costa would probably be enough to net Perry, let alone adding Bishop.

Ducks would get a better offer. A lot of teams desperately need a Perry, like us.

Maybe i just dont value Michalek as much as you?
It has more to do with his proven track record. Perry is a UFA at the end of the year; potential playoff rentals generally don't net a proven 30 goal scorer and a top prospect.
Perry is worth a lot in a trade but his value is considerably lower than it would be if he was signed long term.
No way Jose. Da Costa has very little trade value. Replace Da Costa with Zibanejad and maybe we have something.
Da Costa is a high end prospect with top six potential. Perry is a UFA at the end of this season. A proven mid aged 30 goal scorer and a prospect with top six (and potentially 1st line) potential is a pretty good return for Perry.
If they want Zibanejad then they will have to add a conditional 1st round pick if Perry doesn't re-sign with Ottawa.

Anaheim is probably going to make the playoffs. Would they even trade him?
Da Costa is not a top prospect.
Obviously Perry's value is lower right now but a lot of teams are going to be bidding on him.

It will be really interesting to see what happens in Anaheim. There is a good chance that they could lose both Getzlaf and Perry in the off season. So if it wasn't for how well Anaheim was performing this season, they would likely be looking to trade one or both of those players. I could see Anaheim keeping both of them and trying to push for a cup and risk losing them for nothing in the off season, kind of like last season with Parise and Ne Jersey. But in the event that they move one or both of them, I could see them looking for immediate help rather than futures. Therefore a package including Michalek could be an enticing option.
Perry's trade value is likely similar to the returns that Atlanta got for Hossa and Kolvachuk.
Perry is going to test the market so why not wait, fly EK out there and let him say. "Hey come to Ottawa I will pass to you, you score 110 I get 110 assists and I'll let you hold the cup first"
I guess im overly confident in Murray's ability to re-sign Perry.
I think it is Benny :/ .
If you're Perry, you'd at least want to test free agency, would you not? You're one of the most sought after players to hit the open market in the past decade.
Look dudes, Perry and Getzlaf both won a cup in their rookie seasons. They're not aging stars desperate to win one before they retire. If they were looking to sign long term team-friendly contracts so they can have a juggernaut built around them, they would have re-signed in Anaheim by now.
They're probably both looking for 7 year $7+ million/yr contracts, which is fine, but I'd rather just offer Perry that in the offseason rather than give up a bunch of picks and prospects to get him during a season when literally all of our best players got injured for significant amounts of time.

Every year we go through this. We chose a UFA to target that will change everything. And every year we do not get the UFA and leave disappointed.
I think we need to understand we are the wallflower at the prom.
Agreed.
Murray can (and will) go hard after a player, and he may be able to get one. But he (or anyone else) shouldn't count on it.
I really think that Murray should become Alex Anthopolous this off-season. Look at a list of his forward prospects. Choose which ones he thinks will be most successful. Then, think long and hard about trying to acquire a legitimate established forward who will remain under team control for 3+ years, and making a legitimate effort to acquire him using whatever prospects he thinks are expendable. Obviously one of those would have to be a blue chipper.

EDIT: Look at my post in the "future of this team" thread if you want to know where I stand making a push for a big name player.
But I think that big player should come through the draft. I generally dislike trading for top end talent because you have to give up the moon++. But if this team doesn't get a top 5 pick, I'd like to see Murray try and trade into it.
Not really a fan of trading for a 27 year old 1st liner.
