It's absurd to me that they kept Archibald over Benson. Neither are game-changers, but one is available every game, something I would think you'd want in your depth forwards.

By my calculations (which granted, could be wrong), it's actually a $325,000 greater cap hit to keep Archibald in the NHL and send Benson to the AHL, than to do the reverse. There is a real-world dollars savings of $65,000 to send Benson to the AHL over Archibald, but those kinds of decisions should only matter to poverty franchises.
