Purcell was a successful player for the lowly Oilers before his trade to the Panthers but would he be a good fit for the Flames?
Teddy Purcell was a useful utility player for the Edmonton Oilers for the majority of the season. By eye, and by the various bloggers out there, he was an under appreciated player that was ultimately traded to the Florida Panthers in the final year of his 3 year 4.5 million AAV contract. Purcell generally plays on the right wing, although this was not the case after the trade, and has shown throughout his career that he can be a useful utility player.
