Matt Henderson: Pondering Purcell
- Matt_Henderson

I'd love to see dude's WOWYs. struck me that he played with some pretty juicy linemates in TB. so I take the CorsiRel with a grain of salt.

He seems like a classic offense-first big winger. I'd be surprised if he touched Penner's numbers at his prime though (30g 60p).

Good read.

Purcell is a fairly well respected player. Gagner for Purcell is a pretty significant upgrade any way you slice it but even more so once you realize Gagner was inept at center and was going to be moved to the wing next year anyways.

I'd be curious of line combos like this:

Hall Nuge Purcell

Since Purcell has shown he can excel with good linemates and has a tendency to pass but does own a good shot. This line could play tough comp.

Perron Arco Eberle

Not the biggest line but a decent mix of different player types. I do wonder how Eberle will produce off of Hall's line.

Pouliot Draisaitl Yak

Assuming Draisaitl makes the team. Softer competition here. Size and feistiness/edge. Be good to have an experienced guy like Pouliot who tends to drive possession to play with a playmaker like Draisaitl and a guy who needs to bounce back in Yakupov. I also find Yakupov plays better with grittier linemates.

this line was pretty damn good to start the year last season

yak's a thick body. Yak2's looking huge too. If Yakimov's 6'4-6'5 then Draisaitl's definitely 6'2

Typical Oilers fan, cares more about the players body than how good they are.

yeah, not too bad. And maybe a moot point if we play him with a top line anyway.

Oh hi.

Yakimov far left, Draisaitl middle left, Yakcity far right. Either a friend or a fan wanting a pic middle right, I'm guessing

Well if Yak is 5' 11" then that dude is about 5' 9" so Johnny be good is even smaller....

He seriously looks like he's 14 years old....



He can barely see over the press conference table..

Some geek then? Makes sense.

Also, Yak is a terrible dresser....most Russians are...need to learn a few tricks from Klefbom and Lander or anyone else Swedish.
