Rumor: Teddy Purcell could be a trade deadline target

[YP44]

Wouldn't mind him on the Oilers. Could use some RW depth. Not sure if Chia wants him back though. Might not fit into the culture of the team now. Tough to say.

sure Teddy with $650K retained plus 4th for Reinhart. Basically just want the Reinhart trade to look even worse.

All I can really say is that I am very, VERY thankful that Ray Shero is not in Pittsburgh.

I had a similar thought. This kind of guy would be in his wheelhouse, another cheap, down-on-his-luck winger to plug with 87 or 71.

Is this what we've come to with TDL hype?

 

[tade]

Such a meh player all-around, can't believe he once scored 65 points. Why we we are even discussing this.

Looks like we know who Sakic has been scouting.

They have been at King game scouting, if it was Teddy they are scouting then they are dumber than they appear as he has been in Ontario.

 

[Flair Hay]

Which contender is looking for him as a 4th liner? Where's he even playing this year...

Looks like we know who Sakic has been scouting.

No deal, best Hawks can do is have his salary be so when they potentially send him down, he doesn't count against the cap.

Still has a skill set, but struggles to skate a normal NHL shift, and create anything.

It's why the Kings sent him down.

 

[Sens of Anarchy]

Freidman speculating it's a budget issue with Ottawa. They have to want him first.

 

[TT1]

get in line folks!!!

 

[Lunatik]

I could see the Flames sniffing around if they want a cheap deadline add.

 

[Uncle Scrooge]

The Kings should acquire Jagr from the Panthers and Lehtera from the Blues and keep Purcell.

Purcell - Lehtera - Jagr would be epic. Gives their guys on the bench a chance for a good rest after 5 min shifts in their own zone.

 

[These Are The Days]

Makes no sense for Purcell to be a deadline target when he could've just been had on waivers without giving up anything

bs Teams have injury Purcell makes less money getting closer to the deadlines lots of other factors in a player moving.

Kudos, you managed to bring up a completely unrelated trade in a thread about Teddy Purcell. Let it go.

Hall - Draisaitl - Purcell was one of the best lines in the NHL for 30-40 games last season. Purcell is a smart player and with a low cap hit he is a valuable player. Was surprised nobody claimed him.

 

[gqmixmaster]

i'd take a 6th rd pick no retain

That's exactly what he went for when the Oilers acquired him in the 3 way deal with Arizona and Sam Gagner

 

[Reddwit]

Not sure why everyone is surprised he might have value at the TDL after going unclaimed on waivers. The obvious answer is cap hit. He's burned several hundred thousand by now and will cost pennies on the dollar by next month.
