McLellan says he'll consider playing Purcell and Jultz tomorrow

[Tazer19]

"If they're available to use & ready to play, we'll consider using them tomorrow" - McLellan on status of Purcell and Jultz.

Can't be serious after the way the team played without them tonight right? Have to assume they're both gone by puck drop tomorrow.

yeah, please don't. At the least it keeps them healthy to ensure they can be traded.

What is he supposed to say?

Major pet peeve of mine in the OP.

You say that McLellan says he'll play them tomorrow.

But the quote doesn't say that. The quote says he'd consider playing them.

Very different thing being represented in the title.

Oesterle pretty much played like JS, but with some confidence.

Yep.

McLellans answer is standard political answer. I don't think he is actually considering it.

The OP says "consider" what's the issue? if i didn't say it initially, my bad.

 

[McPuritania]

What is he supposed to say?

Pretty much.

I'd be surprised if Schultz gets back in unless they want to give him another game before the deadline. Looks like Purcell will be traded, so I'd be surprised if he goes in too.

Well you've changed it now

As I said. Just a pet peeve.

 

[Soundwave]

Don't do it Todd. Don't.

 

[ZJuice]

One more game.. Please Mr. McLellan?

"We're getting rid of those dirtbags asap lol"

I actually didn't change it. Maybe a mod? either way. Carry on.

Wonder if they're in trade talks with LA, or the Ducks atm for Purcell and that's complicating things as well.

It does say that you changed your post.

The way TM was talking something was close this evening and might get done tonight or tomorrow.

Please? I'll jump for joy if I wake up seeing "The Edmonton Oilers have traded Justin Schultz."

Been waking up the last week hoping to see that pylon be traded.

 

[Paralyzer008]

Can't see him playing Schultz against the Ducks in Anaheim.

That....would be a disaster.

Purcell could be dealt tomorrow we'll see.

Bah gawd Mac don't do it !!! Those fans have families !!!

This. 100%

He gave a non committal politically correct answer to a question he clearly cant answer directly.

This kind of comment is basically a threat to Chia. Get them outta here now, or Ill play them!

 

[OilerPensfan97]

Hopefully Chia deals them first. If Rishaug is right, it's entirely possible.

Tanking confirmed if they're playing
