Confirmed with Link: Derek Roy to Edmonton for Marc Arcobello (Arco on waivers, Claimed by Pit)

[Privy]

Stålberg to be recalled? Two games since being waived. Scoreless against Iowa and against Lake Erie (with Calvin Pickard in net) he had a goal, a primary assist and a secondary assist.

Not the hands of a 40 goal scorer... but nice forechecking...



As for Arcobello... I don't expect much. He has the same amount of goals as Eberle and more goals than Perron and Yakupov but... Oilers help. He's a bottom six forward. Score a couple of goals and don't screw up too much. Looking forward to the debut.

So what do the Oilers get from Roy that they don't get from Arco? Experience? Consistency? Arco has more point production this season.

Well Roy did get an assist on Hendrick's goal in his first game for them.

They get to pay more salary for an older player with the same size as the asset they gave up. It sounds like a great deal because, well, Edmonton.

Seven hundred games of NHL experience? Edmonton needs more NHL vets to whip their kids back into shape, even if Roy is past his prime he should be a good guy for them.

He has been excellent so far for us. Hope he keeps it up. 5pts in 6 games.

Him, Pouloit, and Yakapov very good against Chicago tonight.

Glad to hear it.

I've actually been pretty pleased with how Arcobello has played for the Preds since coming over. He only has the one goal, but I like the energy and he seems to make the most of his slight build. Nothing spectacular, but a decent option.

 

[bdub24]

Agree. Good energy, awesome he scored in his first game with us. Let's see where this goes...

it has gone to healthy scratch with the return of Beck and Cullen...

 

[jstreet]

Hopefully just rust but beck didn't look like a better option last game, I like arco

This just in...

Arcobello (NASH) on waivers

 

[NSH615]

And there were those who thought he wouldn't be heading to Milwaukee...... Only reason he lasted this long was injuries.

 

[Enoch]

Ouch. I actually expect he will get claimed. Oh well. Hopefully, he does pass through.

 

[nomorekids]

There's a list of about 3 players who should be gone before Arcobello, but I understand why they're not...I guess.

I feel the same way. Nystrom's spot on this team is baffling outside of the cringe-worthy contract.

Nystrom (on IR currently though)
Jokinen
and Cullen this year. Showing his age badly.
Stalberg....

 

[NSH615]

Just a numbers game... I wonder if this means that Nystrom is basically back.

 

[thecloser]

Nystrom, Jokinen, and Cullen are all expendable at this point but I think Poile isnt sure about messing with the mojo and chemistry right now.

Stalberg is also expendable but I don't wanna see him go. For some reason I have a soft spot for the guy.

It means that Neal is back, for sure... Nystrom to follow...

 

[Flgatorguy87]

I hope we find a way to clear some of these contracts to let the younger guys play.

 

[Nashville Transplant]

I certainly didn't think he'd be headed to Milwaukee (at least at the outset of his arrival) but Lavy and the organization is showing loyalty to the guys that are here, and Poile has already commented that this is absolutely just a numbers game and not a reflection on Arco's abilities. I hope the guy gets picked up because he deserves a shot at a regular gig, and his 8 goals this season would be a welcome addition on any number of bottom feeder clubs. He certainly didn't embarrass himself during his brief tenure here.

 

[triggrman]

Does Stalberg have to clear again?

Half of his 8 goals came when he was playing above his talent level on the first or second line. He got a few games with Hall, Eberle and Perron. Arcobello is a fringe NHLer, he isn't terrible, but teams certainly won't be lining up to claim him and play him in the NHL.

I agree with you on Jokinen and Cullen (also have a soft spot for Stålberg) but I'm one of the few that wants to keep Nystrom around. He's a good 4th line guy, brings a bit of toughness to the lineup and is very liked in the room. I would actually like to bring in another (don't shoot me) gritty forward to go with Goose and Nystrom. Someone like Clutterbuck or Tootoo used to be (heat-seeking missile type of player).
