This guy is dynamite. He is an excellent penalty killer and can play on any line. He gives you 100% every game. He gives you 100% every shift.
Right now he is the beating heart of the Oilers. Of course Draisaitl has been phenomenal and crucial to the Oilers success along with his linemates, but Archibald answers the bell every shift. It doesn't matter who he lines up against, he is going to do his best and his best is pretty damn good!!
Archibald needs to be signed and Sheahan deserves a mention here also. Sheahan is another sparkplug who should also be signed, together they are 2/3's of a line to be reckoned with. please start with Archibald and move on to Sheahan very shortly after.

I'm sure Archie is on Holland's list of "to-do's", but I'm also sure that he's 100% focused on the trade deadline. Which is only 1 week away.

For sure trades will take precedence but I don't think Holland is going to be that busy making trades, do you? Personally I'd be surprised to see more than two deals and I cannot see any big deals being made at all. We just don't have the cap space and our team is playing so well that we cannot afford to trade one of our difference makers. Also if Holland is going to make a deal it will be scrutinized because this will be his first trade deadline with the Oilers and he can't afford to mess it up. Any deal he makes will be well thought out and no big deal unless it is slanted our way.....in other words, no big deals.

Somehow I think that if Holland wanted to he could take the few minutes to contact Archibald's agent and see where they are at. One possible scenario could be Archibald's or Sheahan's camp is looking for too much and they end up becoming trade assets. Teams are looking for good penalty killers and all around energy guys.

Your wish has been granted. Two more years, not sure what the cap hit is.
Guys do want to stay and play here. Nice to see for a change.

$1.5 million each year for two years. Thank you. I'm good with that. Think most would be. We are buying up his UFA years just like with Kass.

As per Rishaug, it's a $1.5aav for 2 years. $200k than I estimated but he's scored 11 goals in his last 30 games, so maybe there's a buying high element here.
Still, I'm thrilled to have Archie aboard for the next couple of years!!

Was hoping to get him to sign a little less, but 2 years at 1.5 is a good deal. Glad we got him locked up.

I'm good with this, I suggested similar contract for Ennis, I think they're similar players in many respects but I think Archie has a more "potential" in his tool box and is younger. Some suggested an $850k x 1yr show me for Ennis and I'd be very happy with that but seeing this signing makes me think maybe an even $1M x 1 or 2yrs if he will sign? Still liking what KH has done so far with contracts and for the first time in forever I see a real plan and vision in place for this team!

Still liking what KH has done so far with contracts and for the first time in forever I see a real plan and vision in place for this team! Just a question re Ennis, I believe he signed with Ottawa for 800,000 this season, why would you be in favour of paying him 1.5m next season? He is a year older so why would his price be going up? Something I don't know? Perhaps something to do with his previous contract being bought out by Minn, I guess that must be why he signed for such a cheap price for the Senators. Answered my own question I think.  Archie well worth the 1.5 x 2yrs as far as I am concerned. Best of the bunch of the players offered a one year deal for this season by a long way.

Yeah, Ennis has had a good rebound year and if you just look at the numbers, his are a lot better than Archibald's (for this year anyway). Personally, I put a higher price on effort and both guys seems to bring it every night, that's why i'd let JJK walk before letting Ennis walk and I'd value him higher than JJK. As I stated though, If KH can get Archibald for $1.5 x 2yr maybe he can get Ennis for a bit less and I'd be fine with that.

Archibald has been excellent for the money, if we can sign Ennis to an agreeable contract from what we have seen so far, good...……….Khaira? I doubt many on here would be upset if he was not playing for the Oilers next season. To me, he spends too much time waiting for something to happen rather than making it happen.

However, until he is, I can't see how the team can bring him in when he can only pay 50% of the games? Then again, that would still be a lot more than what the current bottom six play atm

Then again, that would still be a lot more than what the current bottom six play atm Archie has Myocarditis. It is believed he had covid already. I checked and one report says he is projected back skating by Dec 16 |
