Shirotashi Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Just wondering if some could you know... fill me in on why a team that is a starved as it is for big physical power forwards, don't give Darren Archibald a real shot? What is not to like about this guy? Hes a big body that can fight and pot the occasional goal, he cant be a defensive liability or Utica would not have taken him on a PTO. I just don't get it, please someone with hockey wisdom greater than I tell me why the Canucks who ill say it again are pretty starved for players of his ilk aren't giving him a sniff?

RRypien37 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Because he has done nothing during his call ups. He pulled a disappearing act when it came to physicality and toughness while those are the many attributes he was supposed to bring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BanTSN Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 He's not an NHLer now and he may not ever become one. Not quick enough to land hits consistently and doesn't see the game well enough to contribute in other ways. If he improves in both regards, then he has a shot as a 4th line LW. He needs to start showing something asap. That being said, the Comets still need players to hit the ice. The Canucks have taken on quite a few Comets lately.

elvis15 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Lots of answers in here: Darren Archibald Talk He's not bad, but we have plenty of better options to bring up (Gaunce, Grenier and Kenins to start for a bottom 6 role) and he's only been signed by Utica this year, not the Canucks. Arguably an NHL replacement level player, but not the solution to our problems either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Positive Canuck Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 he should watch the Pedan blueprint of how you get noticed by the fanbase off the top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
