BananaMash Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 If I'm not mistaken, he took somewhat of a step forward in his development last year, correct? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLemming Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Yaayyyy. Utica. Good 4th line holder in case of injuries I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

canuck_trevor16 Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I kind of hope he plays on the fourth line.....probably a better option than Sesito Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darkstar Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 With Horvat, Shinkaruk and Archibald, I believe that's 49/50 contracts filled. Saving the last one for Tanev I guess. Edit: Nvm, Horvat and Shinkaruk don't count if they go back to Junior. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harvey Specter Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I'm happy we have Archibald under contract. He showed good finish and strong skating during his time down in Chicago. (I know, sounds like the typical analysis, but I'd be happy with him competing for a 4th line job on a regular basis). I actually expected him to be called up at least once last year due to injuries and whatnot. Hope he makes a strong case for 1st/2nd call-up in the upcoming season.

DeNiro Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 I would imagine he gets some games this season. He showed that he's more than just an AHL plug. He just needs to bring intensity every game and he could be a solid 4th liner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bombastik der Teutone Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Chaka....hope he get some NHL experience however. He Made a huge step forward last season... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Goose Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Hopefully he can take Sestito's job. Nothing against Sestito, but he's the weak link on a mediocre 4th line so logically he's the first player to get upgraded on if a projected bottom 6 prospect gets some games.

DeNiro Posted August 6, 2013 Share Posted August 6, 2013 Sestito does not deserve a spot on the roster, he's a plug. The only time he's put up solid numbers was in his final season in junior. Likely because he was able to dominate much smaller forwards. At 25 years old, he's done nothing but regress in his development since then. If he was an amazing fighter that would be one thing, but he's just average at best. This is Gillis not willing to admit that one of his waiver reclamation projects is a plug. And to think we essentially gave up a much more promising Volpatti for him sucks. His spot should go to one of our young guys like Archibald, Mallet, or Blomstrand.
