All of them were given chances in LA and just didnt perform, Purcell in particular was awful even when given pp time and a linemate in Kopitar, its not like he traded them for scraps before giving them a shot
Plus for every 1 of those, there is a Frolov, Segal, O'Sullivan who left and did nothing, you can't hold on to every player
