Archie just get the damn shot!!! He plays every shift like a do or die situation brings a ton of energy to the team very undervalued member of the team.

Player performance is not the only factor Holland and Tippett have to consider. There may be a need to give deserving prospects some NHL exposure, while also maximizing the team's LTIR benefits, and limiting exposure of players who are not waiver exempt. Such considerations might impact players like Benson, Lagesson, Broberg, Sceviour, Perlini, Shore, and possibly Lavoie. Archibald's situation with Edmonton seems untenable if he's not willing to be vaccinated, and time will tell whether Russell's neck will put him on the IR, or LTIR.
