You realize you have now cited Wikipedia and hockeyy Insiderr on here right? Remind me not to hire the legal firm you do research for.

Hockeyyinsiderr was a joke, but Wikipedia tells no lies. American education for you

Bold:

In Craig MacTavish's words: "Trading the 37th overall pick for three lesser round picks in the 3rd, 4th and 5th round."

Good god...

MacT was serious about Draisaitl being given "every" chance to make the team.

It was only 2 weeks ago he said something about the team needing to be patient with their young talent.

Bigger, similar stats and pay. Little older

I like this trade.

I like it... He's a Newfie, so that's good.

I don't think it's fair to say similar stats.

He could be a real solid fit on the 3rd line with the ability for utility duty in stints higher up the lineup.

I'm unsure if he's really a "power forward" or just a big body.

off the radar

Not half bad. Wonder if this means a RW is on the way out. I hope not, rather it mean they want depth

Depth isn't actual NHL players. Depth is signing the bad scrap heat players in bulk and not the good ones!

But, on the surface it looks real good.

Nahhh he's a third liner and I guess Draisaitl has made the team

Looking into the fancy stats, Purcell looks to be a decent possession player with a sub-par PDO last year.

Did... did the Oilers actually buy low on a player?
