Yes I heard that on Fan 590. Thanks

Great for him. All the best. Switzerland is the best country.

 

[Nithoniniel]

Two year contract probably means that Arcobello gave up chasing the NHL dream for now. That's surprising. I thought he'd chase similar chances like the one here for a few more years.

Can confirmed that it's nice here as I've called it home for the last 20 years. It's not the NHL but all the best to him.

Another small guy bites the dust and heads overseas as he recognizes the NHL is likely not going to give him any more opportunities than he has already had to stick.

NHL Dream is over so lots of players head to Europe to keep playing the game they love.

 

[KGL]

Didn't expect him back anyway.

I do expect, however, to see the Leafs sign another veteran centre for the Marlies next year.

He was simply not good enough to play in NHL, if he can't crack Leafs roster from last year, then what other team is going to offer a contract

Right?
but it had to be about his height.

Yes we are all messed up

 

[ACC1224]

Good for him....1st thought, who cares?

He scored 17 goals in the NHL the previous season prior to Leafs signing him as a UFA. It was on 4 teams however.

His NHL career totals are 139 games 24-29-53 points.

Those totals are decent however the writing was on the wall and he simply didn't measure up to NHL standards.

Good for him. He looked very dejected during the playoffs. Must be difficult to know that you are not part of the future and playing in the minors.

Maybe he'll get bigger there & Mess will be happy.

 

[ShaneFalco]

Don't think he would have been back anyway

 

[TLeafsFan]

He'll be happy there. He isn't at the level to stick in the NHL and he'll get paid more than a career AHL'er.

Don't Panik.

 

[BayStreetBully]

The city's 2nd -bello to leave town this spring. Oh well.

 

[Gabriel426]

Good for him, maybe he will light it up in Swiss league and a NHL team will come calling in the future.

 

[p.l.f.]

bye bye

 

[diceman934]

Good for him!

[Jeypic]

Good luck to him!

He will be a top scorer over there I'm sure
