[News] Purcell/Schultz to Kings trade falls apart

[sureLoss]

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)

Bob McKenzie ‏@TSNBobMcKenzie
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

Lombardi must have sobered up.

So, basically, yet another player told Edmonton to F off?

[burnitdown]

I'm surprised a playoff team would go near Schultz. Not surprised the Oilers can't convince a Russian prospect that refused to play in NA with the Kings to come over. Their situation is much worse!

I can't imagine Schultz playing for Sutter

Maybe it's what a guy like him could use.

Schultz doesn't deserve to be a King. Hope this doesn't happen.
