Teddy Purcell is a healthy scratch for the #Oilers tonight. #EDMvsLAK

Edmonton Oilers

EDM has not traded Purcell, not yet anyway. Asset protection at this point. Several teams with serious interest. Deal likely at some point.

Bob McKenzie

It makes sense to scratch Purcell &amp; Schultz before a trade. Also gives us more time to prepare to be underwhelmed by the return. -bm #Oilers

My sources tell me that Teddy Purcell is sitting in the LA Kings hot tub at this very moment.

Mike Commodore

LAK one of a few teams with interest in Purcell. Kings also have had some interest in Justin Schultz but making $ work would be a challenge.

<p>The Edmonton Oilers are in California and word just a few minutes ago has the club sitting Teddy Purcell. And there’s more!</p>
<p></p>
<p>Justin Schultz is also not in the warmups and there are a lot of scouts on hand.</p>

<p>Yakupov to the Habs for Eller? St. Louis watching who? Rangers? Fayne? Now, Montreal could be there scouting some Kings depth players for possible trade, but this is a very interesting development. Stay tuned, updates as they arrive. </p>

<p>Purcell is a solid veteran, he has been effective this season playing up and down the lineup. Here are the top linemates for the winger at 5×5 this season (and his production):</p>
<ul>
<li>Taylor Hall 545:16 (6-12-18, 1.98-points-per-60, that is a very good total)</li>
<li>Leon Draisaitl 502:15 (6-12-18, 2.15-points-per-60, outstanding)</li>
<li>Anton Lander 124:51 (1-2-3, 1.44-points-per-60, surprising)</li>

<b>Jim Matheson:</b>• For sure, the Kings have been sniffing around Oilers’ winger Teddy<br>
Purcell as a top 9 forward because Marian Gaborik’s knee isn’t good,<br>
although they’re hoping he can be back for the playoffs. Maybe they<br>
could get a third-rounder from LA for Purcell, who used to play for the<br>
Kings.</li>
