Confirmed with Link: Mark Arcobello to 1-year contract deal

[I Believe]

We're gonna net so many extra picks next deadline.

Mark Hunter will be a happy man.

 

[Rare Jewel]

Neat signing.

I remember Bernier absolutely robbing him when he was with Edmonton.

 

[Quares27]

I don't mind Arcobello but are we really only going to sign and draft tiny guys and dump anyone with any grit? if we go into next season with a soft 4th line when all we're doing is signing small skilled guys then it's going to be a long, dreadful season of getting ragdolled

 

[Schenn]

Markobello come on down!

 

[Woodman19]

Whispers of Kadri being in trade talks, then this happens.

Personally it's Holland and Bozak I want moved.

Source?

 

[Loosie]

So between Arcobello, Hunwick and Paranteau, who is still going to be on the team post TD?

 

[deletethis]

Why Holland?

Too tall?

 

[Leafs at Knight]

Source?

The trade whisperer.

 

[Jack Bauer]

Source?

Is this kadri talk legit??

 

[soulie]

Adding another center hmmm, possibly to trade Bozak or Kadri?

 

[p.l.f.]

I guess they aren't sold on Carrick

 

[Jack Bauer]

Why Holland?

Personal preference. Don't see him ending up as a #2 C and window is closing to cash out to a team who still sees it in him.

 

[hfdshdh]

The common theme you are going to notice with all these signings and trading is that they are all high on puck possesion.

Interesting....

Our goal is Austin Mathews and were very serious about it.

I'm amazed how small players we have stacked so many. Have to get bigger. Arcobello is a real fine player but all of our small suckers can't compete against Probert and Nilan. We have done solid signings but we have to beef up. There are so many strong players playing against our small men.

 

[Quares27]

I guess they aren't sold on Carrick

Don't think they're related... there are plenty of roster spots and Bozak is likely gone as well

Anyway it's interesting that they're all good possession players. The ideal scenario next year would be to have a team with a good system in place where they have solid possession numbers but not enough skill to actually score a bunch of goals. Like the Devils

This is getting ridiculous, this team looks like my brothers peewee team

 

[1995]

4 teams last year. also...5'8"

Yeah but what does he weigh.

 

[Crysis]

He played on 4 teams last season and put up 31 points in 77 games. Shows he's versatile at least.

 

[MapleLife*]

Yeah but what does he weigh.

170 soaking wet

 

[RealityBytes]

Yeah but what does he weigh.

172 lbs.

 

[Hyperglide]

Cool signing.

[trellaine201]

One can hope.

Oh ha baby! Sharp shooter

What makes you think that next season is going to be anything but a long, dreadful one regardless of what we do?

We are rebuilding..
