With a good sniper? We have THE sniper, in Steven Stamkos. Teddy plagued Stammer's line every time he was put on it. Not to mention, literally every other line he was put on.
Take Purcell for futures. Anything to get him off this team.
He didn't get much time with Stamkos till after he was injured. Stamkos was still a bit rusty and not finishing like usual. Purcell-Filppula-Killorn was just a terrible line for chemistry but somehow managed to do alright.
Purcell was at his best when with Lecavalier, St. Louis and a healthy Stamkos. Put him with top level shooter and he plays better. He has top notch hands and vision but lacks drive, maybe a different coach can get the most out of his talents.
