The Edmonton Oilers picked up veteran scoring winger Teddy Purcell, sending Sam Gagner to Tampa Bay, who then flipped Gagner to Arizona in a move to clear cap space. Authentic Steve Nash Jersey . Numbers Game breaks down the pieces involved in these two deals. The Oilers Get: RW Teddy Purcell. Purcell, 28, is a skilled winger with good size, though he doesnt always use that size to his maximum advantage. Hes missed a total of three games over the past four seasons and his 194 points over that time ranks 57th in the league. Hes a productive player. A fine complement to other skilled forwards, Purcell has posted strong relative posession stats, enough that hes a solid fit as a second-line winger. How that fits with the current Oilers roster is an interesting question, at the very least. With Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, David Perron and Nail Yakupov on board, adding Purcell to the mix does give the Oilers plenty of scoring wingers, though they are now looking at a presumed hole at second-line centre, unless the Oilers are already projecting third overall pick Leon Draisaitl into that spot. Purcell has two years remaining on a contract that comes with a $4.5-million cap hit; no bargain, but not unreasonable for a top-six forward. The Coyotes Get: C Sam Gagner and RW B.J. Crombeen. Gagner is a 24-year-old who has never surpassed the 49 points that he scored as a rookie, but is also the second-leading scorer from the 2007 Draft class, behind only first overall pick Patrick Kane. Its certainly possible that Gagner can recover his game, because hes still relatively young, but hes been a possession disaster over the past couple seasons and at least part of that reflects his defensive shortcomings. Where this fits for Arizona is that they have two-way centres that can effectively protect Gagner. With Martin Hanzal and Antoine Vermette available to face tougher match-ups, Gagner can be utilized in a role that focuses on offensive production. Since the Coyotes just bought out Mike Ribeiro, its conceivable that Gagner could take over those minutes and Ribeiro started a higher percentage of his shifts in the offensive zone (minimum 40 games played) than anyone in the league last season. If the Coyotes are going to maximize Gagners production, they could also give him that offensive role and add a free agent winger to further upgrade their skill level. Former Oilers RW Ales Hemsky is a free agent, but Jussi Jokinen, Matt Moulson and Mike Cammalleri are other options that could have some appeal. Gagner has two years left on his contract, at a cap hit of $4.8-million, and will get $5-million per season in actual salary, with the Lightning retaining one-third the cost as part of the trade. More on that in a moment. Crombeen is a 28-year-old winger who has has 90 fights and 49 points in 265 games over the past six-plus seasons. Hes generally a subpar possession player, but not so much so that he cant handle a regular shift on the fourth line. Heading into the final year of his contract, Crombeen brings a cap hit of $1.15-million, and gives the Coyotes an enforcer that they can keep in the lineup on at least a semi-regular basis. The Lightning Get: A sixth-round pick in 2015. In the immediate aftermath of the Gagner-for-Purcell swap, the Lightning Tweeted that Gagner was going to be bought-out, which makes sense considering the Lightnings decision to retain salary as part of the deal with Arizona. Since Gagner is under 26-years-old, a buyout would cost one-third the value of his contract, so the Coyotes jumped in, before Gagner hit the open market, and by taking on Crombeens salary, gave the Lightning a little increased financial flexibility as they prepare for free agency on July 1. With more room to maneuver under the cap, the Lightning could go in a couple directions. They could go after a scoring winger -- Jarome Iginla, Thomas Vanek and Mike Cammalleri are some options -- a veteran to complement a young and promising group of Tampa Bay forwards, or they could spend that money on defence. Former Lightning D Dan Boyle could be one target, but Christian Ehrhoff, Mark Fayne, Anton Stralman and Matt Niskanen are among the more prized blueliners about to hit free agency. A sixth-round pick brings with it about a 15% chance of yielding an NHL player, so not great value, but a token price for taking on Crombeens contract. In a separate deal, the Lightning also moved Nate Thompson to Anaheim, acquiring fourth and seventh-round picks in 2015. The picks bring a little less than a 30% chance of an NHL player, but the Lightning clear Thompsons $1.6-million per season for the next three years off the books. Essentially the Oilers, and especially the Lightning look like they are making moves to set up something else, other moves to make this offseason, while the Coyotes took advantage of an opportunity and filled a hole in their lineup at a very reasonable cost.

That little deal worked out in a big way for the Mavericks. Nowitzki had 21 points Tuesday night to pass Oscar Robertson for 10th on the NBAs career scoring list, leading the Mavs to a 95-83 victory over the Utah Jazz. Authentic T.J.

The weekend at Oriole Park has been less kind, with three players suffering varying degrees of injury. The worst ailment of the three, at least optically, is the deep bone bruise suffered by Adam Lind when he fouled a pitch off the top of his right foot in the sixth inning of Saturdays game.(SportsNetwork.com) - Immature people tend to handle things in an immature way as evidenced by noted introvert Marshawn Lynch, who finally broke through his ridiculous media silence on Thursday. For the first time since he arrived in Arizona for Super Bowl XLIX, Lynch actually said something other than Im here so I dont get fined, ripping into the people who want to talk with him so badly. All week I done told yall whats up, Lynch bellyached. And for some reason you continue to come back for the same thing. Its a fair point. Why anyone has any interest in talking to Lynch at this stage escapes me. Yeah he is perhaps the Seahawks top offensive player, and some reporters believe there could be a trickle-down effect if Lynch is allowed to get away with this nonsense so they have chosen this hill to die on. But thats specious thinking. Some players actually enjoy the lavish attention they get on the games biggest stage, and even the vast of majority who dont are going to act like professionals because they have respect for the game and themselves. Lynch is famous for his electrifying, tackle-breaking Beast Quake runs, and now hes even more famous for being the worlds biggest you know what. I dont know what story yall trying to get out of me. What image you are trying to portray of me. But it dont matter what yall think, Lynch said. When I go home at night to the same people I look in the face, to my family that I love, thats all that matters. Lynch needs no help from me or any other reporter to frame his narrative and his brand. And some millennials find a disagreeable, arrogant, contemptuous, inartful clod appealing. Luckily, however, they remain in the minority. Yall go make up whatever you want to make up, because I dont say nothing for you to make out on, Lynch continued. But Ill ccome to your event, yall shove cameras and microphones down my throat. Authentic Trevor Ariza Jersey. But when Im at home, in my environment, I dont see yall. But yall mad at me. And if yall aint mad at me, then whatll yall here for ... I dont have nothing for you. The irony is, its not our event. Its the NFLs event, its the fans event and yes, its Lynchs event. But make no mistake, we dont have to make up adjectives to describe Lynch. He wears his disagreeableness on his sleeve. If this act feels stale, youre not wrong. Lynch pulled the same shenanigans at last years Super Bowl and far too many cared. Several of our long-standing and high profile members were appalled by Mr. Lynchs conduct and refusal to answer any questions, The Pro Football Writers of America said in a statement after Lynchs petulance in New York. Yours truly is not one of those long-standing members appalled by Lynchs conduct simply because he offers nothing. This isnt Aristotle folks. Yall sit here and continue to do the same thing. Im here preparing for a game and yall want to ask me all these questions, which is understandable, I can get that, said Lynch contradicting himself at every turn while no doubt making those at Cal-Berkley cringe knowing this guy represents their institution. But I told yall Im not about to say nothing. FYI Marshawn, that means you are about to say something but Im guessing double negatives arent discussed all that much in The Town. Lynch did deem one question worthy of his time, though: Where can you buy Beast Mode gear? Beastmodeonline.com, he said, breaking his own well-intentioned rule of giving us nothing before rebounding: Im here. I done talked. All of my requirements are fulfilled. So for these next three minutes, Ill just be looking at yall the way yall be looking at me.
