Oilers resigned Archibald for 2 yrs at 1.5 per. I think that's a pretty decent contract for a guy who has 12 goals, 20 pts in 59 games. Small guy but is physical, fast, brings it and is critical to the PK. I think it's a solid deal for a guy who might flirt with 15 goals.

Cue Adam's rant about how he should be taking a pay cut and how it's a bad contract.

It's a meh deal.

I would not have done it now. Of his 20 points, how many have come while playing with McDavid? I'm going to guess 12-14, despite a relatively small sample size. Someone probably can pull the WOWYs there.

Archibald has been okay. That's about it. I'm not sure he's earned a 50% year over year raise with his play this year, but again, it's nice that Oilers management will be at the cabin before US Independence Day...they'll be so rested for next year, and that's important. Holland isn't a young man any more!

What a shock. Adam comes in to be Debbie downer on an Oiler move. I find it interesting that you aren't harping on numbers as much now but have resorted to taking pot shots about the Oilers management getting their business done earlier and continually say its so they can take more holidays.

He's fast, aggressive, shockingly physical for a small guy, great on the PK, a good guy and has 12 goals and 20 pts. It wouldn't shock me to see him finish with close to 15 goals and 25 pts. He's even shown in short spurts he can slide up a few lines and not look completely overmatched. He's not old either. He's EXACTLY what you want in a bottom 6 guy including production. At 1.5 mill, that isn't even expensive bottom money. This isn't a 1 yr thing, he did it last year as well and looks to be a classic Tippet guy he had on Arizona.

So what possible advantage is there to wait if you have a useful player you like who fills a role, is playing well and you can sign him to a pretty reasonable deal, what possible reason is there to wait? On what planet does his contract get cheaper?
