I don't mind it, fast and small is in ( Yamamoto and Nygard ) He brings speed, decent skill and tenacity and can slot in almost anywhere if needed. Penalty killing is huge too. If they don't sign him they have to go looking for a guy that can play like him.

He's currently 257th in the league in scoring among forwards. Going to go out on a limb and say that replacing a guy who's just outside the top 250 isn't actually that difficult.

Scoring isn’t everything. Not every player is going to be a top 100 scorer. He contributes in all areas. His 10 plus goals seem easy to replace, but our history has shown that’s not as easy as we want to believe.

Yep - it isn't everything, but it's pretty damn important when you're talking about forwards. You can train anyone who can skate to be a decent checker, but the scoring is the hardest part of the job. He's still a minus player too, so it's not like he's been completely stingy as a checker. Part of a great PK, but given the turnaround on penalty killing and the fact much of it is similar personnel to last year, I'm inclined to give a lot of the credit to the coach.

If you say broadly that the top 91 forwards are first liners, and continue on down the list like that, then Archibald on his stats is a low end third liner. The money isn't obscene, but this wasn't a guy we couldn't afford to lose. Extremely replaceable part.

"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
