Wasn't able to watch this game, but curious how Archibald looked? I assume that the hope for the team is that they can flip him for a pick in a week, otherwise it seems pointless to have him play at all.

I thought Archibald was fine. It was his first game of the year so he didn't play a ton, just 6:26 but that shouldn't be surprising. He played 1:26 on the PK was was decent as the Oilers killed all 4 TB PP's. I thought he looked fast. He rang a sure goal off the post so the hands aren't there yet but nice to see him get that chance from the 4th line. Had 3 hits, absolutely drilling a guy. Now some people will say he went out of position to make that hit. Maybe he did but if the chance you give up is a 50ft unscreened shot from a defensive dman to absolutely blow up a guy who deserves to be blown up in Perry. I will gladly give up that chance especially since Koskinen should have had that shot in my opinion. It wasn't Hedman ripping a 100MPH top corner bomb, it was Bogosian putting a puck threw Koskinen. And he took the fight with Sergachev who is WAY bigger than him.

Worth noting, when he went out of position to make the hit, the guy where he SHOULD have been scored.
-1 on a goal where he shares some of the blame, and apparently the worst shot metrics of anyone on the team. Not surprising, he hasn't played in almost a calendar year, but still, the sooner Holland can find a taker for him in the US the better. Waste of a roster spot right now for the Oilers.
