in 10/11, his most common linemates were Vinny, dominic moore, ,simon gagne, bergenhiem, and malone
in 11/12, his time was pretty spread out with nobody playing more than 1/3 of his time with him. his most common linemates were st louis, malone, vinny, downie, and pyatt.
in 12/13, he played with stamkos and malone and did ok. Using Corsi as the measuring tool, he seems to have more impact with checking assignments / secondary offense instead of elite offensive guys.
Well, for what it's worth, in 11-12 and 13 he played with Stamkos and/or St. Louis in almost every game I watched. 10/11 was different thing, though. He started out playing in third line but worked himself to the second line 5-6 games in. His role changed a lot that season, was playing third line for stretches but then second line again for stretches. He was very good that season, though. But my point is still, he never carried the second line. But yes, I think Teddy is a very good fit for creating secondary offense since he does have good offensive tools. He's not a top-line player because he lacks consistency but he can be that kind of guy that creates the offense when Hall or RNH are shut down.
Thank you for the time you took to write this up. I greatly appreciate the insight. I do have a question for you. Where did Purcell spend the majority of his PP time? Was he on the LW boards, in the slot?
I think he spent most of his PP time on either left wing boards or on the point. If Stamkos was in the slot, he'd be on the boards, if Stamkos was on that position, he'd be playing the point. He was most often the fourth forward on the ice, the one on defenseman position.
