Sorry, you are wrong on so many facets here. First, it was to replace Ceci, hence him being in trade talks. In fact, this coaching staff had started deploying Kulak/VD as second pairing 5v5 and Nurse/Ceci as third pairing. Ceci was absolutely going to be replaced.GM wanting to upgrade the top pairing RD position wasn't just due to Ceci. Bouchard and Desharnais were just as much a factor. If we had 'added' a Dman , pretty sure Desharnais would have been the odd one out and not the guy who plays 8-10more mins per game than him.
Also, Archibald aside from that one bad penalty was a cannon ball. An ideal bottom 6 winger who could skate , hit and maybe PK.
I would buy what you are throwing if Ceci is scratched for Stecher next game.
Archibald was horrible. The ice was constantly tilted for the opposition when he was on the ice. He was a bad, bad player.
Stretcher should be in for Ceci- he moves the puck better, skates better. I, sure you are aware that Ceci/nurse have been outscored the previous 2 playoffs 15-3? Also most of the high danger chances against are with that pair on the ice? Anyways, we aren’t going to agree.
