Purcell/Schultz to Kings trade falls apart
Apparently the Oilers had a trade worked out that would send Purcell and Schultz to the Kings.
Except a prospect in the KHL caused the whole deal to fall apart.

This is apparently one of the hang-ups in LA/EDM deal...will this player commit to North America. (1/2)

But there should be a resolution soon. Think EDM wanted to see if Prokhorkin could be signed this week. (2/2)

Uncertainty over Prokhorin's availability obviously kaiboshed the Purcell/Schultz trade to LA.
Will be interesting to see if the Oilers can still move Schultz... Pens are reportedly interested
