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.

This might be an unpopular point of view given I am daring to say anything bad about Benson but it looks like to me the coach is playing the players he thinks he can win games with. I believe that doing well on this homestand is pretty critical to the Oilers playoff chances so its pretty clear he doesn't see Benson as a guy that can help him.
I think people need to accept that if Benson can't find a full time job with the coach who has coached him since he turned pro, maybe he's not good enough.
