I forgot Archambault had rights with Allen (I was not expecting him to come to Orlando at all)
By itself, this is a rough deal, but acceptable. Jardine rights are whatever, but Boutet is only on an AHL PTO and Gogol seemed to be fitting in as a needed veteran presence.
My initial reaction was a bit more negative to learning of this. The minor league perspective is a bit different. OSB could trade two of its leadership group (although something does need to change), somebody in Syracuse stubs a toe tomorrow, they recall Archambault again to be a healthy scratch, and OSB is left holding the bag.
If Archambault is only down in Orlando to get his confidence back, he could be back in Syracuse after like 3 games. High price to pay.
Especially when the price on a similarly skilled player, Hunter Fejes, was so low. A reserve level player, Michael Turner. Chris Francis, who was collected as future considerations to someone else who never played for us, and then flipped, and JC Campagna. The only guy who sort of hurt to lose, but we also needed goal scoring badly at that point and he was an assist man.
