Sutter will love him.

 

[Papa Mocha 15]

Always liked the guy...little risk

 

[Choralone]

Dean fooled us. He doubled-down on loyalty and is bringing back Purcell and Zatkoff. Next up: Brian Boyle, Matt Moulson, and Thomas Hickey.

 

[Basilisk]

This...... Is...... FAILURE!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[DocWest]

Trent Hunter, you're up next!

 

[CanadianKingsFan14]

Cheap low risk move. I like it. Next up sign Brad Richard's for 3rd center and we should be good.

Not at all. A 3-4 year deal would have been but a one year deal holds no risk. Fair signing.

Welcome back, Snaggletooth. Some of you guys' overreactions are hilarious.

Trent Hunter, you're up next!

Nope, think 're-invent'...contact Ryan Smyth Talk him out of retirement.

're-invent' = regurgitate.

Get the marketing team going! Quick, call the apparel company to
rush PURCELL , ZATKOFF, TROTMAN, GILBERT, LATTA jerseys in the Team LA Store! Need 100's of 'em by July 4.

Press Conference.

It's low risk, high reward. Purcell does poses skill.

 

[Little Psycho]

Waiting for Ethan Moreau

Tampa will probably trade us Brian Boyle

Awaiting DL to sign Pancakes.

Purcell had 43 points last season, which would've made him the 6th highest scoring player on the Kings, and the 3rd highest scoring winger (behind Toffoli and Lucic).

Those 43 points will likely translate to 30ish points with the Kings.

Or less,

PP time is a reward from Sutter, not a given.

Its funny, with all of these ex-Kings coming back, fans with old jerseys with their names can dust them off and wear them again.

 

[mattgkg]

he's worth 1.6 hope he surprises us.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

Great deal. If he's not a top-line winger

 

[KingsHockey24]

I'm happy with this; always like Teddy. Our season is saved!

 

[kingsholygrail]

Bust out your old Purcell jerseys!

 

[King'sPawn]

Low risk. Sensible. These moves aren't meant to overwhelm you. They were the kinds of moves DL made when he was building the team successfully. This is a transition year that I'm okay with.

 

[Steve Zissou]

Awaiting DL to sign Pancakes.

This still gets me every time

 

[Ziggy Stardust]

Maybe Teddy can find some chemistry with Kopitar. He has some skill, although he is a bit on the soft side. I do like that he did this to the Ducks last season.
