DeNiro Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 Oh man... Lol. This is why I tell people to calm down when they start comparing guys like Boeser to Hull and McCann to Sakic. You're setting yourself up for major disappointment. Just let these guys develop into their own players. They don't need to be compared to greats to be good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lock Posted October 1, 2015 Share Posted October 1, 2015 With players like Prust easily signed to the team, I think Archibald would have had to really create a niche for himself on the big club to actually be able to stay. While he was decent, he never stood out to me. I'm not surprised by him not making Utica. The competition's getting more fierce for spots as of late.

miquarters Posted October 2, 2015 Share Posted October 2, 2015 surprised he didn't get an AHL deal. Don't forget that he had a knee injury that knocked him out of the playoffs last year. Who knows how that is healing/has healed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fakename70 Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 Signed with Kalmazoo. But, Kalamazoo is a Blue Jackets affiliate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The competition's getting more fierce for spots as of late.I'm still not convinced he was any less impressive during his cup of coffee under Torts than Kenins was during his last season under Willie. Was hoping they'd both have an opportunity to battle in camp for that 4th line LW spot rather than acquiring Prust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saucypass Posted October 20, 2015 Share Posted October 20, 2015 But, Kalamazoo is a Blue Jackets affiliate. Doesn't mean he isn't signed to the Kalamazoo Wings. He's no longer with the organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bd71 Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 I'm very surprised he can't find a deal in the A. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UticaHockey Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 But, Kalamazoo is a Blue Jackets affiliate.Most ECHL rosters are made up of players signed by the ECHL team and are not property of any NHL or AHL team. A hand full of players are assigned to them by a NHL or AHL team. ECHL affiliations are mush looser than AHL affiliations. Archie signed an ECHL contract with Kalamazoo so Vancouver and Utica no longer have his rights and he is free to sign a deal with any AHL team than may be interested in signing him mid season.

coryberg Posted October 21, 2015 Share Posted October 21, 2015 Was hoping they'd both have an opportunity to battle in camp for that 4th line LW spot rather than acquiring Prust.If we hadn't made that trade we would either have a messed up Kassian taking that spot, a messed up Kassian in rehab or a messed up Kassian on waivers.Besides that, trying to compare one of the most complete enforcers in the game to a player who couldn't land an ahl contract is laughable.

DeNiro Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 Archibald's goal in his first game back with the Comets. Decent mitts for a big man. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wshdrvvn Posted November 5, 2015 Share Posted November 5, 2015 I'm hoping he can earn an AHL deal. I was happy to see him go off the NHL contract books but I've always liked him on the AHL team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred65 Posted November 6, 2015 Share Posted November 6, 2015 The tough thing about Archibald is his potential which it seems like he doesn't have the confidence to exploit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UticaFanPart2 Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 Does anyone here know what the status of Archi is? I know he is here on a PTO, but how long does a PTO last? Any info would be greatly appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He signed a standard AHL contract with the Comets today so he will be here the rest of the season. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted January 4, 2016 Share Posted January 4, 2016 He deserves a contract. I was mad when they let him go. He brings a swagger to the team that they desperately need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
