According to the Bangor Daily News, the Kings were one of at least teams pursuing Purcell. It was the fact that the Kings went all out (even traveling to Newfoundland) that Purcell signed with them. Any info on his level of talent for the NHL? He was evidently Inside College Hockey's Rookie of the Year.
